About our window mastic in Parkhead
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, you will get a clear quote before work begins. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the number of frames and any access details for window mastic in Parkhead. We work on patio & French doors, composite doors and aluminium frames, and people most often call us about sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and leaking joints at the ends of sills.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, though many have since been replaced. In Parkhead, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.

Why it’s worth doing now in Parkhead
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Parkhead, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Your questions about window mastic in Parkhead
I let a flat near Carntyne station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Parkhead generally arranged?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds do not.
Do you come to Parkhead?
Yes, we do. Parkhead is part of the area we cover.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes, we do both. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months, inside or out.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Parkhead and the rest of Glasgow.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a tenement in Parkhead, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What window mastic looks like in Parkhead
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as St Mungo's Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Carntyne station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Historic houses such as Provand's Lordship, about 1.8 miles north-west, show how far back building around Parkhead goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
Parkhead is about 3 miles north-west of Cambuslang, in Glasgow. Jobs in Parkhead get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Parkhead is one of 183 towns and villages in Glasgow where we work.

Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant, and acetoxy silicones aren’t used, as they can attack some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so they get particular care.
Landlord and commercial work in Parkhead
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
How we quote for window mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
