How we handle window mastic in Shieldhall
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and we give a one-year guarantee on the work. We work on uPVC windows, composite doors and patio & French doors, and people most often call us about a bead that doesn’t match the frame and whistling draughts around closed windows.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. In Shieldhall, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What affects the cost of window mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
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.

- Where the property is
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Common problems we fix in Shieldhall
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Renfrew High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the cure time is
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
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. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Frames and glazing around Shieldhall
Much of Glasgow is built from red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that will not mark it. Shieldhall is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain.
Historic houses such as Pollok House, about 3.3 miles south-east, show how far back building around Shieldhall goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Letting a property close to Hillington West station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Shieldhall, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How the job changes by surface
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
