Window mastic in Stonehouse, done properly
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. Common call-outs are for cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, on window sills, timber windows & doors and uPVC windows.
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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Questions from Stonehouse
Do you cover smaller places like Stonehouse?
Yes, Stonehouse is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do window mastic in Stonehouse?

Is the new sealant paintable?
Most silicone cannot be painted. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Outside jobs in Stonehouse need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in

When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Faulty window hardware
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
Why act early in Stonehouse
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. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. In an older home around Stonehouse, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why us?
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- You choose the colour before work begins

Surface by surface
Composite doors
A composite door normally sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
What we are called out for in Stonehouse
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
If you live in an older home near Stonehouse Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

- What insurance they hold
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
Windows and doors in Stonehouse
Historic houses like Cambusnethan House (about 4.6 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Stonehouse has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For landlords with property near Larkhall station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
