Window mastic in Thomshill, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. We work on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and uPVC windows, and common reasons people get in touch are a bead that doesn’t match the frame and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Thomshill depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What affects the cost of window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, 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.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the job is, and your postcode

Common problems we fix in Thomshill
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Elgin High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Advice
Surface 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’ll tell you if that’s what we find.
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall and tooled smooth.

Windows and doors in Thomshill
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, 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.
In the older streets around Birnie Kirk, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Elgin station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Why it’s worth doing now in Thomshill
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
