Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
How we handle window mastic in Blairninich
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, you will 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. If you’re dealing with hard, cracked sealant around windows and gaps left after new windows were fitted, we can help.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Signs you need window mastic in Blairninich
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, and a gap filled solid can’t flex. Backing rod sets the right depth.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
Around Blairninich, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long to leave it before use
Why act early in Blairninich
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. In an older home around Blairninich, 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 amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere like Blairninich may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in

Blairninich homes and the weather
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. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
For landlords with property near Dingwall station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Blairninich is about 14 miles north-west of Inverness, in Highland. Blairninich gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. 253 places in Highland are on our list.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
