Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Window mastic in Aird, done properly
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, the work is priced before anything is done.

We work on window sills, uPVC windows and composite doors, and common reasons people get in touch are black, perished sealant on frames and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Aird depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Silicone can’t normally be painted, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Outdoor work around Aird depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Your questions about window mastic in Aird
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Aird?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Can you do window mastic in Aird?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Aird is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How long will my window job take?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. We will tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so it can be worth sealing both.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
What happens if it’s left?
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that’s needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. 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 make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How we quote for window mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Frames and glazing around Aird
Aird is within about 1 mile 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 failed outside joints work against that.
If you look after a building such as Aird Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In and around Aird, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

It helps to know what we can’t do too:
