Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
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.
About our window mastic in Symington
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. We work on patio & French doors, composite doors and uPVC windows, and the jobs we see most are rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and white mastic on grey or black frames.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Symington depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Is Symington in your area for window mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Symington is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you guarantee window mastic?

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
It depends on the sealant. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Mention any painting plans before we start.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Symington 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.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Related advice
When to call us in Symington
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
Around Symington, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Windows and doors in Symington
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Homes close to Symington Parish Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Near you in Symington
Around Symington, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Culter Library and Reading Room and the streets around them. A little further out are Fatlips Castle (1.8 miles south-west) and Kello Hospital (3.3 miles north-east).
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
Quotes for window mastic in Symington
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What else we do in Symington
Why act early in Symington
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 a place like Symington, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
