About our window mastic in Rankinston
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and we give a one-year guarantee on the work. Common call-outs are for damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, on window sills, aluminium frames and patio & French doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Rankinston depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How we quote for window mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rankinston
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are from start to finish. Outdoor work around Rankinston depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
Rankinston homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Rankinston, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Whether the job is in Rankinston itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Leave it or put it right?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. Around Rankinston, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
