Window mastic in Chapel of Garioch

Surface by surface

Composite doors

Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.

uPVC windows

Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.

Window mastic in Chapel of Garioch

Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. If you have whistling draughts around closed windows and rushed sealant from a window installation, we can put it right, on composite doors, window sills and patio & French doors alike.

In and around a place like Chapel of Garioch, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.

A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Does someone need to be in?

We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

Do you seal inside as well as outside?

Yes. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly.

Will resealing my frames help with draughts?

In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.

Are you insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.

Honest limits

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

  • A sash or casement that won’t close properly
  • A failed sealed unit that has misted up
  • A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals

If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

When to call us in Chapel of Garioch

Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. That is what backing rod is for.

  • Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
  • Draughty joints inside around the window
  • Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
  • White mastic on grey or black frames

If you live in an older home near Chapel Of Garioch, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Choosing a sealant specialist

Windows and doors in Chapel of Garioch

Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.

If you let a flat or house near Inverurie station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Should I try it myself first?

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 does not work out, we can still put it right.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
  • Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
  • Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
  • Paint up to the joint, not over it

Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.

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.

The process

The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere like Chapel of Garioch may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.

  1. We check how each frame can be reached safely.
  2. Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
  3. Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
  4. Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
  5. We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.

Preparing for the visit

  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
