Window mastic in Pitcairngreen, done properly
Homes in Pitcairngreen have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on patio & French doors, composite doors and timber windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are white mastic on grey or black frames and mastic that has split away from the wall.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pitcairngreen
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.

Why it’s worth doing now in Pitcairngreen
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. In an older home around Pitcairngreen, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Windows and doors in Pitcairngreen
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with 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.
For landlords with property near Perth station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house in most cases. Outdoor work around Pitcairngreen depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
