About our window mastic in Plantation
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and we give a one-year guarantee on the work. We work on timber windows & doors, composite doors and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are draughts coming in around windows and doors and gaps left after new windows were fitted.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, though many have since been replaced. In Plantation, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.

Why deal with it now?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. For landlords in Plantation, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Common questions in Plantation
Do you work for landlords with property near Exhibition Centre station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Plantation get organised?
The owners of the flats usually agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Plantation?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. We’ll tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

When to call us in Plantation
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
If you let a flat or house near Exhibition Centre station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Parking in city streets around Plantation can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Frames and glazing around Plantation
Plantation is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain. Much of Glasgow is built from red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that will not mark it.
If you look after a building such as Lorne Street Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Historic houses such as Tenement House, about 1.1 miles north-east, show how far back building around Plantation goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
