About our window mastic in Burghead
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. We work on aluminium frames, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are rushed sealant from a window installation and mastic that has split away from the wall.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Burghead is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere like Burghead may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Why it’s worth doing now in Burghead
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Frames and glazing around Burghead
Burghead is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In and around Burghead, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Burghead, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Common questions in Burghead
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Burghead?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you cover Burghead for window mastic?
Yes, Burghead is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we’ll pick a sealant to suit.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we will tell you what access is needed.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
