New Leeds Window Mastic
Problem with your window and door frames in New Leeds? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
About our window mastic in New Leeds
Frames and walls don’t move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on window sills, composite doors and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and gaps left after new windows were fitted.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around New Leeds is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode

- A few pictures by email, if you can
We quote each job on its own. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and photos are welcome.
Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain. Those corners get the most care.
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We will tell you which suits your home.
Window mastic in New Leeds: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In and around New Leeds, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For an older house near a landmark such as Church and Manse, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Your questions about window mastic in New Leeds
Do you cover New Leeds for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and New Leeds is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in New Leeds?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Silicone generally won’t take paint. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, where it’s safe. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we will confirm what’s needed.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Timber windows & doors
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- uPVC windows
Why act early in New Leeds
Not every sealant suits a window. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Around New Leeds, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- More than 20 years in sealant work

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around New Leeds depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- 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.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
