How we handle window mastic in Aberdour
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. If you’re dealing with rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and cracked sealant at the sill ends, we can help, on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors alike.
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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Why act early in Aberdour
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

What affects the quote in Aberdour
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Your questions about window mastic in Aberdour
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Aberdour any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Will you come out to Aberdour?
Yes. Aberdour is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
When to call us in Aberdour
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
If you live in an older home near St Fillan's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- How long the guarantee is
- What insurance they hold
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Windows and doors in Aberdour
Aberdour is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Rented homes near Aberdour station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
Aberdour is about 5 miles east of Dunfermline, in Fife. From the centre of Aberdour to the outskirts, we cover window mastic for every kind of property, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Aberdour is one of 133 places in Fife we cover. For nearby work, see our Edinburgh page.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Silicone can’t normally be painted, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
