What affects the quote in Bàgh a'Chaisteil
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Bàgh a'Chaisteil
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. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. We work on uPVC windows, patio & French doors and composite doors, and common reasons people get in touch are draughty joints inside around the window and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Bàgh a'Chaisteil depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. We pay most attention there.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep timber frames painted
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Bàgh a'Chaisteil and across Na h-Eileanan Siar. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
When to call us in Bàgh a'Chaisteil
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. That is what backing rod is for.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Managing a site like Castlebay Community School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What else we do in Bàgh a'Chaisteil
What window mastic looks like in Bàgh a'Chaisteil
Bàgh a'Chaisteil is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
If you live in an older home near Church of our Lady, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
