Window mastic for homes and businesses in Philipshill
Frames and walls do not move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We’re often asked to deal with rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and draughty joints inside around the window, across aluminium frames, patio & French doors and composite doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Philipshill depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Check the mastic once a year
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames for a typical job. Around Philipshill, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
Do you need window mastic in Philipshill?
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
If you look after a building such as Duncanrig Secondary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Why deal with it now?
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. In a place like Philipshill, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Full insurance on every job
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A choice of colours where the product allows

Philipshill questions
Is Philipshill in your area for window mastic?

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hairmyres station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We can do either or both.

Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.

When something else is needed

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required

Frames and glazing around Philipshill
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
If you let a flat or house near Hairmyres station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. If you live in an older home near Carmunnock Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
