- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster

Leave it or put it right?
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic usually deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

About our window mastic in Rigside
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached. If you have untidy mastic left by window fitters and draughts coming in around windows and doors, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Rigside depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Rigside questions
Do you cover smaller places like Rigside?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Rigside for window mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Rigside is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the joint suits the frame.
How much does window mastic cost in Rigside?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What window mastic looks like in Rigside
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Whether the job is in Rigside itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
Composite doors
A composite door generally sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
When to call us in Rigside
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
The most common problems we see are:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
Around Rigside, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
