What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Window sills
- Composite doors
- Aluminium frames
- uPVC windows
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Crimond
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. If you are dealing with black, perished sealant on frames and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, we can put it right, on window sills, composite doors and aluminium frames alike.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why it’s worth doing now in Crimond
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. In an older home around Crimond, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
What window mastic looks like in Crimond
Crimond is close to 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For an older house near a landmark such as Crimond Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Crimond is about 7 miles south-east of Fraserburgh, in Aberdeenshire.

Common questions in Crimond
Do you cover smaller places like Crimond?
Yes, Crimond is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Crimond for window mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Crimond is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not normally, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we’ll say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Crimond 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
What affects the cost of window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
Common problems we fix in Crimond
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid can’t stretch. That’s what backing rod is for.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
Around Crimond, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
