How we handle window mastic in Polmadie
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you are dealing with damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and cold air getting in at the frame edge, we can help, on aluminium frames, window sills and patio & French doors alike.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Polmadie, access is the first thing to plan, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Polmadie homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain.
Historic houses such as Provand's Lordship, about 3.2 miles north, show how far back building around Polmadie goes. Schools such as St Margaret Mary's Secondary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Croftfoot station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Your questions about window mastic in Polmadie
Do you cover Polmadie for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Polmadie is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Polmadie?
The owners of the flats generally 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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How many windows can you do in a day?
The work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so it can be worth sealing both.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Surface by surface
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so they get particular care.
What affects the cost of window mastic
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- The amount of work
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
Every job is quoted individually. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
Landlord and commercial work in Polmadie
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Landlords and agents in Polmadie can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Why act early in Polmadie
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Colour picked to suit the job
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. For a tenement in Polmadie, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
