What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Badenoch homes and the weather
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Around Badenoch, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Badenoch is about 23 miles south-east of Cradlehall, in Highland. From the centre of Badenoch to the outskirts, we cover window mastic for every kind of property, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Badenoch is one of 253 places in Highland we cover for window mastic. Our Dundee page covers work nearby, about 59 miles away.
Work in PH22 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. Streets in the area include Grampian Road, Dalfaber Road and Cairngorm Avenue, and we cover them all.

What’s near Badenoch
There’s a railway station in Badenoch itself: Aviemore station. Well-known places in the area include Loch an Eilein Castle (2.8 miles south). Open spaces near Badenoch include Loch Pityoulish.
Common problems we fix in Badenoch
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. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
If you let a flat or house near Aviemore station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Nearby places to Badenoch
Also in Badenoch
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Badenoch: your questions answered
Is Badenoch within the area you cover?
Yes, Badenoch is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aviemore station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We do one or both.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months, inside or out.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can new window sealant be painted?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone cannot. Tell us if you are decorating and we will choose accordingly.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
