What happens if it’s left?

How do I get a quote for window mastic in Pitlessie?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so it can be worth sealing both.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Outdoor work around Pitlessie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
What we are called out for in Pitlessie
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
Historic houses such as Hill of Tarvit, about 3 miles north-east, show how far back building around Pitlessie goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Patio & French doors
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors

What window mastic looks like in Pitlessie
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For landlords with property near Springfield station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
