How we handle window mastic in Ardersier
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. We work on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and uPVC windows, and common reasons people get in touch are untidy mastic left by window fitters and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Windows and doors in Ardersier
Ardersier is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In and around Ardersier, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Rented homes near Inverness Airport station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Ardersier is about 6 miles west of Nairn, in Highland. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Ardersier is covered for window mastic. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Local landmarks in Ardersier
The nearest railway station is Inverness Airport station, roughly 2.3 miles south of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Highland Aviation Museum (2.1 miles south-west) and Chanonry of Ross (3.7 miles west). Not far away are Loch of the Clans and Fairy Glen.
Why deal with it now?
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. In a place like Ardersier, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Ardersier questions
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Ardersier any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Inverness Airport station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you cover Ardersier?
Yes. We cover Ardersier and the rest of Highland. For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
