Questions from Aywick
Will you come out to Aywick?
Yes. Aywick is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do window mastic in Aywick?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Aywick is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, inside or out.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How we handle window mastic in Aywick
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on patio & French doors, composite doors and aluminium frames, and the jobs we see most are draughty joints inside around the window and draughts coming in around windows and doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Aywick depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Aywick and across the Shetland Islands.

Window mastic in Aywick: local notes
Aywick 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. Island weather, with its wind and salt spray, is tough on the mastic around window and door frames.
Historic houses such as Windhouse, about 4.2 miles north-west, show how far back building around Aywick goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Around Aywick, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Aywick is in the Shetland Islands. For window mastic in and around Aywick, it’s easy to get a quote: please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. We cover the Shetland Islands from our Crawley base. Aywick is one of 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands where we work.

Close by, we work in Mid Yell (3 miles north), Camb (4 miles north), Burravoe (4 miles south), Houbie (6 miles north-east) and Mossbank (9 miles south-west).

Local landmarks in Aywick
The countryside around Aywick includes Loch of Quheyin and White Hill of Vatsetter.
What happens if it’s left?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. In an older home around Aywick, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf generally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We’ll tell you if that’s what we find.
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.
Other services in Aywick
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How we quote for window mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How much there is to do
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
Rather than a set price list, 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 to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Around Aywick, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work
