- Whistling draughts around closed windows
Why act early in Nemphlar
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. In a place like Nemphlar, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Common problems we fix in Nemphlar
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Look out for these signs:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
If you live in an older home near Kirkfieldbank Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What the cure time is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether you can choose the colour

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Around Nemphlar, distance and access matter more than parking.

- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Nemphlar homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you let a flat or house near Lanark station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Managing a site like Lanark Grammar School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that won’t harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
FAQs for Nemphlar
Is Nemphlar within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lanark station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work on first-floor windows?

What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
How much does window mastic cost in Nemphlar?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
