Window mastic in Towie
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. Common call-outs are for leaking joints at the ends of sills and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, on patio & French doors, window sills and aluminium frames.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Frames and glazing around Towie
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Around Towie, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you live in an older home near Towie Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
How we quote for window mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: 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.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Towie 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.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Around Towie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Towie questions
Can you do window mastic in Towie?
Yes, Towie is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Towie?
Yes, Towie is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Usually, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll match it as closely as we can.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We check where the draught is before we start.
How long will my window job take?
Allow a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
