Aberfoyle Window Mastic
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for householders, landlords and businesses in Aberfoyle. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.

Window mastic in Aberfoyle, done properly
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. Typical jobs include cold air getting in at the frame edge and gaps where the sill meets the wall, across window sills, aluminium frames and uPVC windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Aberfoyle depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Around Aberfoyle, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Landlords and letting agents in Aberfoyle can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Your questions about window mastic in Aberfoyle
Do you cover Aberfoyle for window mastic?
Yes, Aberfoyle is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Aberfoyle?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Aberfoyle?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
What affects the cost of window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We look for the cause first.
Windows and doors in Aberfoyle
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Around Aberfoyle, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why deal with it now?
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. 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.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
