FAQs for Arinagour
Can you do window mastic in Arinagour?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Arinagour is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is Arinagour within the area you cover?
Yes, Arinagour is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Arinagour
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. Common call-outs are for old mastic that has gone black or come away and cold air getting in at the frame edge, across window sills, composite doors and patio & French doors.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Arinagour homes and the weather
Arinagour 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you live in an older home near Coll Parish Church (Church Of Scotland), the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. In and around Arinagour, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why act early in Arinagour
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In a place like Arinagour, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- We never seal over old sealant
How the job changes by surface
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain. We pay most attention there.
What else we do in Arinagour
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, and the area is left clean. Outdoor work around Arinagour depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
