What happens if it’s left?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Outside jobs in Alford need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Alford

Windows and doors in Alford
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew's Episcopal Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

What we’re called out for in Alford
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
If you look after a building such as Alford Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Common questions in Alford
What guarantee comes with window mastic in Alford?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Alford within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Most silicone cannot be painted. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
