How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Window mastic in Newtyle, done properly
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. Common call-outs are for untidy mastic left by window fitters and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill, across timber windows & doors, uPVC windows and patio & French doors.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What else we do in Newtyle
What window mastic looks like in Newtyle
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. With historic houses such as Balhary House (about 3.9 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Newtyle as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Historic houses such as Balhary House, about 3.9 miles north-west, show how far back building around Newtyle goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Around Newtyle, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do too:

- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work in Newtyle
- Window sills
- Composite doors
- Patio & French doors
- uPVC windows
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How we quote for window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
To get a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. The sealant must cope with it.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.

Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before we start.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
