Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Silicone can’t generally be painted, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
About our window mastic in Torwood
Frames and walls don’t move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. If you have mastic that has split away from the wall and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, we can help, whatever the surface.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Falkirk.

Leave it or put it right?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In an older home around Torwood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We look for the cause first.
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf normally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Torwood
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.

- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Torwood homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Denny High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Larbert station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
