Why act early in Sauchen
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Sauchen

- More than 20 years in sealant work
- We agree the colour with you first
Window mastic in Sauchen, done properly
Colour matters on a frame. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. If you’re dealing with leaking joints at the ends of sills and a bead that doesn’t match the frame, we can help, whatever the surface.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Sauchen
Do you cover smaller places like Sauchen?
Yes. Sauchen is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with window mastic in Sauchen?

Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we’ll tell you what access is needed.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
It depends on the sealant. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Tell us if you’re decorating and we will choose accordingly.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Sauchen homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For jobs in and around Sauchen, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere like Sauchen may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Advice
What we are called out for in Sauchen
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
Around Sauchen, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who turns up on the day
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Keep timber frames painted
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
Silicone cannot generally be painted, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
How we quote for window mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
