Window mastic in Coillore, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. If you have rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and a bead that doesn’t match the frame, we can help, on window sills, patio & French doors and uPVC windows alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Coillore depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Coillore
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. That’s what backing rod is for.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
For jobs in and around Coillore, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Common questions in Coillore
Can you do window mastic in Coillore?
Yes, Coillore is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Coillore affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Faulty window hardware
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- 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.
What we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
Frames and glazing around Coillore
Coillore is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Coillore is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain.
In and around Coillore, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Coillore is in Highland. Coillore gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our Highland coverage runs to 253 places, and Coillore is one of them.
We work across the IV56 postcode area for window mastic and the streets around it. Nearby, we also carry out window mastic in Carbost (4 miles south-east), Lonmore (8 miles north-west), An t-Aodann Ban (8 miles north), Dunvegan (9 miles north-west) and Portree (9 miles north-east). Island and remote addresses take a little more planning, so please mention your location when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere like Coillore may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Why it’s worth doing now in Coillore
Not every sealant suits a window. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In an older home around Coillore, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
