Window & door mastic in Newbridge, Edinburgh
Our applicators work in Newbridge on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
Why deal with it now?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. In a place like Newbridge, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Outdoor work around Newbridge depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare

Frames and glazing around Newbridge
Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. If a home is listed or in a conservation area, it’s worth checking with the council before changing the look of windows or walls. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Homes close to Kirkliston Parish Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Edinburgh Gateway station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Clifton Hall School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How we quote for window mastic
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
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 we start.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
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.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Your questions about window mastic in Newbridge
Do you work for landlords with property near Edinburgh Gateway station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Newbridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
What does window mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Silicone generally will not take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we will use a paintable product where it suits.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s coming through the window seals, we will tell you.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
