How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around Oakbank 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.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
About our window mastic in Oakbank
The new joint does not 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. If you have cracked sealant at the sill ends and cold air getting in at the frame edge, we can help, on aluminium frames, window sills and patio & French doors alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Oakbank depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Oakbank
Is Oakbank in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Oakbank is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Livingston South station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Check the mastic once a year
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
Why it’s worth doing now in Oakbank
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. In an older home around Oakbank, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
Frames and glazing around Oakbank
Historic houses like Howden House (about 1.8 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Oakbank has older buildings as well as new. 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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In the older streets around Mid Calder Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Livingston South station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Managing a site like Inveralmond Community High School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Faulty window hardware
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
