Pollok Window Mastic
We cover Pollok for mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. We will point out any rot we find, as that is a job for a joiner.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
About our window mastic in Pollok
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. If you’re dealing with draughty joints inside around the window and gaps left after new windows were fitted, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. In Pollok, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Pollok as everywhere else we work.

What happens if it’s left?
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new 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. In a tenement flat in Pollok, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

FAQs for Pollok
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Priesthill & Darnley 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 Pollok in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Pollok is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, inside or out.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pollok
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a city area like Pollok, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
When to call us in Pollok
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Schools such as St. Paul's High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
How we quote for window mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
