Window mastic in Camb
Around Camb we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on uPVC windows, composite doors and window sills, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked sealant at the sill ends and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Camb
Do you cover Camb for window mastic?
Yes, Camb is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is Camb within the area you cover?
Yes, Camb is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Generally, yes. We plan safe access before the job, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes, we do both. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Can new window sealant be painted?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone cannot. Tell us if you’re decorating and we’ll choose accordingly.
Leave it or put it right?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In a place like Camb, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need window mastic in Camb
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Homes close to Reafirth Chapel include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
Windows and doors in Camb
Camb is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Windhouse (about 1.7 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Camb as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Mid Yell Junior High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Camb is in the Shetland Islands. From the centre of Camb to the outskirts, window mastic is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. We cover 63 towns and villages across the Shetland Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.

Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
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.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. For a place like Camb, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
