What affects the cost of window mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

What window mastic looks like in Sauchieburn
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, 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 sound outside sealant is part of that.
For an older house near a landmark such as Luthermuir Chapel, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Timber windows & doors

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Surface by 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
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.
Sauchieburn questions
I let a flat near Laurencekirk station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Sauchieburn?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We check where the draught is before we start.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote so we can plan the job.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.

When to call us in Sauchieburn
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
Rented homes near Laurencekirk station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
