About our window mastic in Clachan
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. We work on timber windows & doors, composite doors and window sills, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Clachan is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Clachan and across Argyll and Bute.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Clachan
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. Around Clachan, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Frames and glazing around Clachan
Clachan is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In and around Clachan, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Clachan, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Check the mastic once a year
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
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.
Questions from Clachan
Does the coastal weather in Clachan affect outside sealant?
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 smaller places like Clachan?
Yes. Clachan is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What does window mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We do one or both.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
How the job changes by surface
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame isn’t always the mastic: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We look for the cause first.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Outside jobs in Clachan need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
