Summerhill questions
Can you do window mastic in Summerhill?
Yes, Summerhill is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Summerhill?
The owners of the flats usually agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Normally, yes. We plan safe access before the job, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How we handle window mastic in Summerhill
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. We work on aluminium frames, composite doors and window sills, and the jobs we see most are cold air getting in at the frame edge and black, perished sealant on frames.
Summerhill is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Natural stone around older windows needs a sealant that will not mark or attack it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Do you need window mastic in Summerhill?
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. That is what backing rod is for.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
Friendville, about 1.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Summerhill, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Why act early in Summerhill
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Summerhill, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Frames and glazing around Summerhill
Aberdeen is known as the Granite City, and granite is hard and dense, so any sealant against it needs clean, sound edges to grip. With historic houses such as Friendville (about 1.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Summerhill as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Oakbank School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Aberdeen station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Aluminium frames
- uPVC windows
How the job changes by surface
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf generally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We’ll tell you if that is what we find.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. For a tenement in Summerhill, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
