About our window mastic in St Fillans
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. Common call-outs are for cold air getting in at the frame edge and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, across composite doors, uPVC windows and aluminium frames.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around St Fillans is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Around St Fillans, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.

How we quote for window mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Why act early in St Fillans
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. 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.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Over 20 years’ experience

St Fillans homes and the weather
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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.

Questions from St Fillans
Do you cover St Fillans for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and St Fillans is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in St Fillans?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How long will my window job take?
A handful of frames is a short visit, while a whole house takes longer. You’ll get a timescale with the quote.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll use the nearest match.
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. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Faulty window hardware
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Condensation trapped between the panes
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.

- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Aluminium frames
Do you need window mastic in St Fillans?
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
Homes close to Church Of The Holy Spirit include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
