What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
About our window mastic in Rumbling Bridge
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on aluminium frames, window sills and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about cold air getting in at the frame edge and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Rumbling Bridge depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, in most cases. We plan safe access before the job, so mention the height and anything in the way.

Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.

What we are called out for in Rumbling Bridge
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. That’s what backing rod is for.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
In and around Rumbling Bridge, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What window mastic looks like in Rumbling Bridge
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you live in an older home near St Serf's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How we quote for window mastic
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Outdoor work around Rumbling Bridge depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work

Related advice
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window sills
- Composite doors
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Don’t paint over the silicone
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
