Window mastic in Slamannan, done properly
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. If you have leaking joints at the ends of sills and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, we can help, on uPVC windows, composite doors and aluminium frames alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Slamannan
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Around Slamannan, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What window mastic looks like in Slamannan
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home 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.
Letting a property close to Caldercruix station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Why it’s worth doing now in Slamannan
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
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.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our reviews.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
Allow most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
