About our window mastic in Uphall Station
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. If you have cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, we can help, on uPVC windows, aluminium frames and composite doors alike.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Quotes for window mastic in Uphall Station
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
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.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Do not paint over the silicone
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
Leave it or put it right?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Window mastic in Uphall Station: local notes
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. With historic houses such as Howden House (about 1.8 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Uphall Station as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near Uphall Church And Burial-ground, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Livingston North station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

When to call us in Uphall Station
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Our Lady's High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint

Other services in Uphall Station
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so we pay close attention there.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
