What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Outside jobs in Blair Atholl need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Related advice
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Blair Atholl
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on uPVC windows, patio & French doors and window sills, and people most often call us about rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Yes, Blair Atholl is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is the new sealant paintable?
It depends on the sealant. Silicone isn’t paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Tell us if you are decorating and we will choose accordingly.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.

What else we do in Blair Atholl
Why deal with it now?
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic generally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

What window mastic looks like in Blair Atholl
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Around Blair Atholl, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. Rented homes near Blair Atholl station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
