Window & door mastic in Whitehills, South Lanarkshire
Our applicators work in Whitehills on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
Window mastic in Whitehills, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. We work on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are draughty joints inside around the window and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame.
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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What we’re called out for in Whitehills
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
If you let a flat or house near East Kilbride station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Whitehills homes and the weather
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Duncanrig Secondary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Why act early in Whitehills
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door for a typical job. Around Whitehills, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, 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.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, inside or out.
What does window mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How many windows can you do in a day?
Allow a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
