Window mastic in Pitscottie
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 work on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and uPVC windows, and common reasons people get in touch are untidy mastic left by window fitters and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster.
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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the cost of window mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Surface by surface
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Pitscottie
Is Pitscottie within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cupar station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What does window mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We do one or both.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Do not paint over the silicone
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
Why act early in Pitscottie
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
Why us?
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Tidy, careful work
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Fully insured

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Outside jobs in Pitscottie need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
