If you’re dealing with hard, cracked sealant around windows and gaps left after new windows were fitted, we can put it right.
In and around a place like Oakley, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Silicone cannot normally be painted, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.

What window mastic looks like in Oakley
Oakley is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Church of The Most Holy Name, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Dunfermline City station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Oakley is about 5 miles west of Dunfermline, in Fife. Jobs in Oakley get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain. We pay most attention there.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, depending on how much there is to do. For a place like Oakley, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Faulty window hardware
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Oakley
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Around Oakley, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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. All the old material has to come out first.
Common questions in Oakley
Does the coastal weather in Oakley affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you cover smaller places like Oakley?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
