Window mastic in Pitreavie
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. Typical jobs include cracked sealant at the sill ends and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, across uPVC windows, window sills and patio & French doors.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Fife.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames and we leave things clean and tidy.

- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.

Advice
Window mastic in Pitreavie: local notes
Pitreavie is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Historic houses such as Pittencrieff House, about 1.9 miles north-west, show how far back building around Pitreavie goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. If you look after a building such as Dunfermline High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Rosyth station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Pitreavie is about 1 mile south of Dunfermline, in Fife. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Pitreavie is covered for window mastic, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Pitreavie is one of 133 towns and villages in Fife we cover. We also work in Edinburgh, around 11 miles away.

Landmarks near Pitreavie
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Pittencrieff Park and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Pitreavie itself: Rosyth station.

Why it’s worth doing now in Pitreavie
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that’s needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Pitreavie questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Rosyth station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Pitreavie any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How long will my window job take?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant, and acetoxy silicones aren’t used, as they can attack some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
What affects the cost of window mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
