Common questions in Newbattle
Is Newbattle within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Eskbank station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can new window sealant be painted?
It depends on the sealant. Silicone is not paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Tell us if you are decorating and we will choose accordingly.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Normally, yes. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we’ll match it as closely as we can.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Window mastic in Newbattle
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, you’ll get a clear quote before work begins. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached for window mastic in Newbattle. We work on patio & French doors, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors, and people most often call us about old mastic that has gone black or come away and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Quotes for window mastic in Newbattle
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Around Newbattle, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Around Newbattle, 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.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work

Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We look for the cause first.
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Window mastic in Newbattle: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Eskbank station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For an older house near a landmark such as Newbattle Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Dalkeith High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
