About our window mastic in Tarsappie
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We’re often asked to deal with water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and rushed sealant from a window installation, across patio & French doors, aluminium frames and window sills.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Tarsappie depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Around Tarsappie, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What we’re called out for in Tarsappie
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid can’t stretch. That is what backing rod is for.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Letting a property close to Perth station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every sealant suits a window. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

What window mastic looks like in Tarsappie
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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.
Around Tarsappie, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows

Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
