About our window mastic in Woodhead
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. Typical jobs include gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, across patio & French doors, composite doors and timber windows & doors.
In and around a place like Woodhead, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

Do you need window mastic in Woodhead?
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
Letting a property close to Hamilton West station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Woodhead: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Woodhead?
Yes. Woodhead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hamilton West station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Is the new sealant paintable?
It depends on the sealant. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone cannot. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. You will know the timing when we quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Check the mastic once a year
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
What affects the cost of window mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Window mastic in Woodhead: local notes
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Managing a site like Earnock High School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to Hamilton South Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
