Window mastic for homes and businesses in Temple
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on composite doors, uPVC windows and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are whistling draughts around closed windows and untidy mastic left by window fitters.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, where failing mastic is easy to miss. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Temple.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the cost of window mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a city area like Temple, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in

Leave it or put it right?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Private landlords in Temple must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Frames and glazing around Temple
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Knightswood Secondary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Anniesland station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Your questions about window mastic in Temple
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Temple normally arranged?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are normally repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Do you cover Temple for window mastic?
Yes, Temple is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes, we do both. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Signs you need window mastic in Temple
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Black, perished sealant on frames
In the older streets around All Saints Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How the colour is chosen
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Condensation trapped between the panes
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Temple
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
