How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Around Baile a' Mhanaich, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

About our window mastic in Baile a' Mhanaich
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and we give a 12-month guarantee on the work. We’re often asked to deal with cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, on window sills, patio & French doors and composite doors.
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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Baile a' Mhanaich
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Colour picked to suit the job

What we are called out for in Baile a' Mhanaich
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
Whether the job is in Baile a' Mhanaich itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What product goes in the joint
- What the cure time is
- Are they insured?
Common questions in Baile a' Mhanaich
Does the coastal weather in Baile a' Mhanaich affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, 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 Baile a' Mhanaich?
Yes. Baile a' Mhanaich is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all 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 quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we’ll pick a sealant to suit.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
Windows and doors in Baile a' Mhanaich
Baile a' Mhanaich 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. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Baile a' Mhanaich, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
What affects the quote in Baile a' Mhanaich
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send pictures if you have them.
