Window mastic for homes and businesses in Badachro
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. Common call-outs are for damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and draughts coming in around windows and doors, across timber windows & doors, uPVC windows and composite doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Badachro depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Badachro
What happens if it’s left?
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. In a place like Badachro, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Around Badachro, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the cost of window mastic
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: 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
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Window mastic in Badachro: local notes
Badachro is within about 1 mile 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. 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.
In and around Badachro, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Badachro is in Highland. Jobs in Badachro get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Across Highland, we cover 253 places, Badachro among them.
Our applicators cover all of the IV21 postcode area for window mastic and the streets around it. If you are just outside Badachro, we cover Lonemore (2 miles north), Gairloch (3 miles north-east), Poolewe (7 miles north-east), Inverasdale (8 miles north) and Àird (11 miles north-east). Island and remote addresses take a little more planning, so please mention your location when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Surface by surface
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Badachro questions
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Badachro?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Will you come out to Badachro?
Yes. Badachro is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, in most cases. We plan safe access before the job.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When to call us in Badachro
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar never bonded as it should, and it lets go sooner than it should.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
For jobs in and around Badachro, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
