What affects the quote in Bragar
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:

- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Window mastic in Bragar
Around Bragar we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. Common call-outs are for cold air getting in at the frame edge and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, across patio & French doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When to call us in Bragar
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
In and around Bragar, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Around Bragar, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Bragar questions
Is Bragar within the area you cover?
Yes. Bragar is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do window mastic in Bragar?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Bragar is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Bragar and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar, along with the rest of our area.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can new window sealant be painted?
It depends on the sealant. Silicone is not paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Mention any painting plans before work begins.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
What happens if it’s left?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Windows and doors in Bragar
Bragar 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. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. On the islands, wind and salt spray are hard on outside sealant.
Whether the job is in Bragar itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What else we do in Bragar
For landlords and businesses

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
