About our window mastic in St David's
Frames and walls don’t move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We work on patio & French doors, composite doors and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are hard, cracked sealant around windows and black, perished sealant on frames.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the quote in St David's
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. For a place like St David's, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- 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
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property

We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Faulty window hardware
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Signs you need window mastic in St David's
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Whether the job is in St David's itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Why act early in St David's
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
