Window mastic for homes and businesses in Stewartfield
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. We work on window sills, composite doors and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about draughts coming in around windows and doors and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door.
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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Stewartfield may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.

What window mastic looks like in Stewartfield
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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Schools such as Duncanrig Secondary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near East Kilbride station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Common questions in Stewartfield
I let a flat near East Kilbride station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Stewartfield within the area you cover?
Yes, Stewartfield is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Silicone generally will not take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we’ll use a paintable product where it suits.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months, inside or out.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
Allow a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- uPVC windows
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
Composite doors
A composite door normally sits in a plastic outer frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Why deal with it now?
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. Around Stewartfield, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why us?
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- We never seal over old sealant

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
