Bremirehoull Window Mastic
We cover Bremirehoull for mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Keep paint off silicone joints
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
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. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
Window mastic in Bremirehoull, done properly
Homes in Bremirehoull have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. If you are dealing with whistling draughts around closed windows and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Bremirehoull, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, depending on the amount of work. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Your questions about window mastic in Bremirehoull
Does the coastal weather in Bremirehoull affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Will you come out to Bremirehoull?
Yes, Bremirehoull is covered. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, inside or out.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch and we’ll plan for it.
What window mastic looks like in Bremirehoull
Bremirehoull 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 is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
For jobs in and around Bremirehoull, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Bremirehoull, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Bremirehoull is about 8 miles south of Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands. Across the ZE2 area, we cover window mastic for homes and businesses. Bremirehoull is one of 63 places in the Shetland Islands we cover for window mastic.

Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We look for the cause first.
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Why deal with it now?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
