- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that, where a rigid one would crack.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal. We use a neutral-cure product.
Window mastic in Culbokie, done properly
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you will get a clear quote before any work starts. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached. If you’re dealing with damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and leaking joints at the ends of sills, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

- uPVC windows
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors

FAQs for Culbokie
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Culbokie any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Will you come out to Culbokie?
Yes, Culbokie is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What does window mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.

Windows and doors in Culbokie
Culbokie is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
For landlords with property near Dingwall station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. In and around Culbokie, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Outside jobs in Culbokie need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, 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.
