How we handle window mastic in Camore
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. We work on window sills, patio & French doors and composite doors, and people most often call us about cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
In and around a place like Camore, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Window mastic in Camore: local notes
Camore is close to 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. Camore is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
Schools such as Dornoch Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Quotes for window mastic in Camore
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.

What else we do in Camore
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Check the mastic once a year
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Keep timber frames painted
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Camore
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. That is what backing rod is for.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Rented homes near Tain station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What insurance they hold
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames for a typical job. For a place like Camore, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Common questions in Camore
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Camore any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Do you work for landlords with property near Tain station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
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.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
