DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
About our window mastic in Warriston
Around Warriston we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. Typical jobs include gaps where the sill meets the wall and a bead that doesn’t match the frame, across timber windows & doors, uPVC windows and aluminium frames.
In and around a place like Warriston, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How we quote for window mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Warriston and across Edinburgh. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere like Warriston 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.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
Ask for a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Do you need window mastic in Warriston?
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
Homes close to St Mary's Episcopal Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the cure time is
- What insurance they hold
Windows and doors in Warriston
The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you look after a building such as Currie High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Curriehill station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
