Window mastic for homes and businesses in Muirhead
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you will get a clear quote before work begins. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the number of frames and any access details for window mastic in Muirhead. We work on aluminium frames, composite doors and patio & French doors, and people most often call us about gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and old mastic that has gone black or come away.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Around Muirhead, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Window mastic in Muirhead: local notes
With historic houses such as Camperdown House (about 1.3 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Muirhead as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you let a flat or house near Invergowrie station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Camperdown House, about 1.3 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Muirhead, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Menzieshill High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Muirhead is about 4 miles north-west of Dundee, in Dundee. Muirhead gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Muirhead is one of 50 towns and villages in Dundee where we work.

What affects the cost of window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
To get a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. In an older home around Muirhead, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- We’re fully insured
- We agree the colour with you first
Take a look at how sealant jobs are priced or what customers say.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

How much does window mastic cost in Muirhead?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
