How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
What else we do in Abernethy
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Condensation trapped between the panes
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- uPVC windows
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Around Abernethy, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
What affects the cost of window mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Abernethy homes and the weather
Abernethy is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Kirk Of St Bride, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Around Abernethy, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Abernethy questions
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Abernethy?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you cover smaller places like Abernethy?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We check where the draught is before work begins.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
