- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
Why deal with it now?
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 is needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. 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.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

Window mastic in Arabella
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. We work on window sills, patio & French doors and composite doors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Arabella depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
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.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. For a place like Arabella, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky

When to call us in Arabella
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
For landlords with property near Fearn station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Questions from Arabella
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Arabella any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you work for landlords with property near Fearn station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Arabella?
Yes, we do. Our applicators work in Arabella.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, inside or out.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Frames and glazing around Arabella
Arabella is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In and around Arabella, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
