Window mastic in Auldearn
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. If you’re dealing with cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, we can help.
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.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Auldearn
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. If the sealant can’t stretch, it splits.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
For landlords with property near Nairn station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

- Whether VAT is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
Landlord and commercial work in Auldearn
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Auldearn and across Highland. Several sites can go on one quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant. We use a neutral-cure product.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

What happens if it’s left?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a place like Auldearn, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
What else we do in Auldearn
Frames and glazing around Auldearn
Auldearn is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Auldearn Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Questions from Auldearn
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Auldearn?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, 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 Nairn station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we will say so.
Is the new sealant paintable?
It depends on the sealant. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Mention any painting plans before we start.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
