FAQs for Barnyards
Is Barnyards within the area you cover?

Can you do window mastic in Barnyards?
Yes, Barnyards is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Window mastic in Barnyards
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you’ll get a clear quote before work begins. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached. We work on window sills, patio & French doors and uPVC windows, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked sealant at the sill ends and untidy mastic left by window fitters.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Barnyards and across Fife.

How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Other services in Barnyards
Do you need window mastic in Barnyards?
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Black, perished sealant on frames
Historic houses such as Gibliston House, about 1.8 miles north, show how far back building around Barnyards goes.

Barnyards homes and the weather
Barnyards is close to 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Around Barnyards, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why deal with it now?
Not every sealant suits a window. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Around Barnyards, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Outdoor work around Barnyards depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
