Window mastic in Charlestown of Aberlour, done properly
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. We work on uPVC windows, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are cold air getting in at the frame edge and draughty joints inside around the window.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Charlestown of Aberlour depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Charlestown of Aberlour as everywhere else we work.

Charlestown of Aberlour questions
Is Charlestown of Aberlour within the area you cover?
Yes, Charlestown of Aberlour is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is window mastic in Charlestown of Aberlour guaranteed?
All our work, in Charlestown of Aberlour and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we are fully insured.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not generally, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Charlestown of Aberlour
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
If you live in an older home near Aberlour Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
