About our window mastic in Auchnagatt
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. Typical jobs include draughts coming in around windows and doors and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, on composite doors, timber windows & doors and window sills.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Auchnagatt is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the job changes by surface
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We will tell you which suits your home.
FAQs for Auchnagatt
Will you come out to Auchnagatt?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Auchnagatt?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
Allow a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Leave it or put it right?
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that’s needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. In an older home around Auchnagatt, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Colour picked to suit the job
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

Advice
Do you need window mastic in Auchnagatt?
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
In and around Auchnagatt, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Window mastic in Auchnagatt: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Homes close to Savoch Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Check the mastic once a year
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
