Questions from Bladnoch
Is Bladnoch within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Bladnoch affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
What does window mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch so we can plan the job.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How we quote for window mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
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 will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Faulty window hardware
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Windows and doors in Bladnoch
Bladnoch 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Bladnoch, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Outside jobs in Bladnoch need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, 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
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What we are called out for in Bladnoch
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- A bead that does not match the frame
If you live in an older home near Sacred Heart Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
