Window Mastic in Wilsontown
Problem with your window and door frames in Wilsontown? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
When to call us in Wilsontown
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- A bead that does not match the frame
If you let a flat or house near Breich station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

About our window mastic in Wilsontown
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you will get a clear quote before we start. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the number of frames and any access details. If you have gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and cracked sealant at the sill ends, we can help, on aluminium frames, composite doors and window sills alike.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. 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 send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How we quote for window mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- 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. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Faulty window hardware
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Composite doors
- Window sills

Why act early in Wilsontown
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. In an older home around Wilsontown, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- We never seal over old sealant
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Window mastic in Wilsontown: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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.
Around Wilsontown, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Outside jobs in Wilsontown need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
