How we handle window mastic in Baile Mòr
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you have hard, cracked sealant around windows and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, we can help.
In and around a place like Baile Mòr, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Window mastic in Baile Mòr: local notes
Baile Mòr is within about 2 miles of 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. 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 the older streets around Iona Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
Baile Mòr is in Argyll and Bute. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Baile Mòr can book us for window mastic. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. Our Argyll and Bute coverage runs to 118 places, Baile Mòr among them.

What we’re called out for in Baile Mòr
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
In and around Baile Mòr, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Baile Mòr
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. In an older home around Baile Mòr, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What affects the cost of window mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The problem you’ve noticed
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house from start to finish. For a place like Baile Mòr, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
