How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Outdoor work around Newmains depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access

About our window mastic in Newmains
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. Common call-outs are for a bead that doesn’t match the frame and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, across patio & French doors, uPVC windows and composite doors.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What window mastic looks like in Newmains
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. With historic houses such as Cambusnethan House (about 3.3 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Newmains as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Rented homes near Cleland station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you look after a building such as Coltness High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Keep timber frames painted
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.

Landlord and commercial work in Newmains
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.

Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes, we do both. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames

What we’re called out for in Newmains
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
Homes close to Coltness Memorial Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
