Window mastic for homes and businesses in Brora
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. We work on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and composite doors, and people most often call us about hard, cracked sealant around windows and old mastic that has gone black or come away.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Brora depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why deal with it now?
Not every sealant suits a window. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. 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.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

FAQs for Brora
Will you come out to Brora?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Brora station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What does window mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We can do either or both.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Brora may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- 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.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.

Common problems we fix in Brora
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.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
For landlords with property near Brora station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

What window mastic looks like in Brora
Brora is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Around Brora, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal, and acetoxy silicones aren’t used, as they can attack some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
