The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Around Whauphill, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit

FAQs for Whauphill
Can you do window mastic in Whauphill?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Whauphill is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Whauphill?
All our work, in Whauphill and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Most silicone cannot be painted. Let us know beforehand, and we will use a paintable product where it suits.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every sealant suits a window. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In an older home around Whauphill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Whauphill
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
For anyone letting property in or around Whauphill, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Window mastic in Whauphill: local notes
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.
For jobs in and around Whauphill, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Whauphill, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
