Window mastic in Balintore, done properly
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. We are often asked to deal with draughty joints inside around the window and old mastic that has gone black or come away, across composite doors, patio & French doors and aluminium frames.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.

How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
Composite doors
A composite door normally sits in a plastic outer frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Landlord and commercial work in Balintore
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Your questions about window mastic in Balintore
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Fearn station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Balintore 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.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. Keeping drainage clear and checking the joints yearly helps them last.
Do you come to Balintore?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, and that includes Balintore.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. We will tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Outside jobs in Balintore need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Do you need window mastic in Balintore?
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the masonry beside it stays put. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
Around Balintore, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Why it’s worth doing now in Balintore
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. In a place like Balintore, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Balintore

Balintore homes and the weather
Balintore 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.
