How we quote for window mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much there is to do
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
If you’re in Stoneyburn and need window mastic, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
How we handle window mastic in Stoneyburn
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. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. If you have untidy mastic left by window fitters and draughty joints inside around the window, we can put it right.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What else we do in Stoneyburn
Frames and glazing around Stoneyburn
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In and around Stoneyburn, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Stoneyburn is about 4 miles south of Bathgate, in West Lothian. Stoneyburn gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Stoneyburn is one of 58 towns and villages in West Lothian we cover. For nearby work, see our Edinburgh page, about 18 miles away.
All of EH47 is within our area for window mastic. Streets in the area include Main Street, Strathyre Drive and Dalziel Court, all of which we cover. We also cover Loganlea (1 mile south-east), Bents (1 mile south-west), Addiebrownhill (1 mile south-east), Addiewell (1 mile east) and Breich (2 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Livingston (5 miles north-east), Bathgate (4 miles north), Linlithgow (9 miles north), Whitburn (3 miles north-west), East Calder (8 miles north-east) and Broxburn (8 miles north-east).
Near you in Stoneyburn
Stoneyburn’s nearest station is Addiewell station, roughly 0.9 miles east. Well-known places in the area include Tippethill House Hospital (3 miles north-west) and Bathgate Castle (3.2 miles north).
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
What we are called out for in Stoneyburn
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, and it lets go sooner than it should.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
Rented homes near Addiewell station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What insurance they hold
Common questions in Stoneyburn
Will you come out to Stoneyburn?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Addiewell station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
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.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Outside jobs in Stoneyburn need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Faulty window hardware
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
