The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Around Wallacestone, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit

- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Window mastic in Wallacestone, done properly
Around Wallacestone we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on window sills, uPVC windows and composite doors, and people most often call us about old mastic that has gone black or come away and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We can talk through the options.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Frames and glazing around Wallacestone
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Schools such as Graeme High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Brightons Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Polmont station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

FAQs for Wallacestone
Can you do window mastic in Wallacestone?
Yes, Wallacestone is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Polmont station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Usually, yes. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we’ll use the nearest match.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Silicone generally won’t take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we’ll use a paintable product where it suits.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We can do either or both.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

What else we do in Wallacestone
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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 that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
Why act early in Wallacestone
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
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.
