What happens if it’s left?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Around Old Philpstoun, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

What window mastic looks like in Old Philpstoun
Old Philpstoun is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
For landlords with property near Linlithgow station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Schools such as Winchburgh Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Old Philpstoun may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- 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.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Common problems we fix in Old Philpstoun
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Look out for any of the following:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
For an older house near a landmark such as Pardovan Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Before booking anyone
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
