About our window mastic in Woodilee Village
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. We work on patio & French doors, composite doors and timber windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and whistling draughts around closed windows.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Woodilee Village is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Do you need window mastic in Woodilee Village?
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Draughty joints inside around the window
If you let a flat or house near Lenzie station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee
- Which colour the sealant will be
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
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.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
What happens if it’s left?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In a place like Woodilee Village, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
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 window mastic looks like in Woodilee Village
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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Kirkintilloch High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- Condensation trapped between the panes
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Your questions about window mastic in Woodilee Village
Is Woodilee Village within the area you cover?
Yes. Woodilee Village is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Lenzie station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can new window sealant be painted?
It depends on the sealant. Silicone isn’t paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Tell us if you’re decorating and we will choose accordingly.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Outdoor work around Woodilee Village depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
