Our window mastic service in Na h-Eileanan Siar

The new joint does not have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. Typical jobs include draughty joints inside around the window and a bead that doesn’t match the frame, on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and window sills.

There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are for a typical job.

First we look at every frame and agree the list.
We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
Every joint is checked before we leave.

Windows and doors across Na h-Eileanan Siar

Na h-Eileanan Siar has everything from older homes with timber frames to newer ones with uPVC. Walls facing the weather take the most punishment, wherever they are in Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west. Sealants for jobs in Na h-Eileanan Siar are chosen with that in mind. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in Na h-Eileanan Siar can see heavy use in busy months, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most.

Stornoway: In and around Stornoway, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Whether the job is in Stornoway itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

What affects the quote in Na h-Eileanan Siar

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

The old material and how stubborn it is
How many areas need sealing
The number and length of the joints
The type of sealant required

A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What to tell us for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Any previous sealing or DIY work
The rough size of the job
The type of property

For window mastic in Na h-Eileanan Siar, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.

What sealant work cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

A sash or casement that will not close properly
Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
A failed sealed unit that has misted up

What we’re called out for in Na h-Eileanan Siar

Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
Leaking joints at the ends of sills
Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame

Looking after it afterwards

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:

Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
Wipe condensation off the frames

Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.

Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.

Na h-Eileanan Siar: your questions answered

Can you seal over the old sealant?

No, it won’t 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.

How do I get a quote for window mastic in Na h-Eileanan Siar?

The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.

Can I paint over the new sealant?

Most silicone can’t be painted. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.

Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?

Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will match it as closely as we can.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
