How we handle window mastic in Spinningdale
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. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We work on uPVC windows, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and untidy mastic left by window fitters.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Spinningdale depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why it’s worth doing now in Spinningdale
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.

Spinningdale: your questions answered
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Spinningdale?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you work for landlords with property near Ardgay station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How many windows can you do in a day?
A few frames take a few hours. You will get a timescale with the quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
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 they get particular care.

Common problems we fix in Spinningdale
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Around Spinningdale, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Spinningdale homes and the weather
Spinningdale is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you let a flat or house near Ardgay station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
