About our window mastic in Armadale
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We work on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about gaps where the sill meets the wall and untidy mastic left by window fitters.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Armadale as everywhere else we work.

Windows and doors in Armadale
Armadale is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
Around Armadale, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
A composite door generally sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so the joint must stay flexible. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
What affects the quote in Armadale
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The product the joint needs
- How much there is to do
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Leave it or put it right?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Armadale questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Mallaig station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Armadale within the area you cover?
Yes, Armadale is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Silicone generally will not take paint. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. 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.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Signs you need window mastic in Armadale
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the masonry beside it stays put. If the sealant can’t stretch, it splits.
Look out for any of the following:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
For landlords with property near Mallaig station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Are they insured?
- Who turns up on the day
- Which colour the sealant will be
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Outdoor work around Armadale 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.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
