How we handle window mastic in Dalabrog
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We are often asked to deal with draughts coming in around windows and doors and rushed sealant from a window installation, across aluminium frames, window sills and patio & French doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Dalabrog depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar.

What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We can talk through the options.
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that won’t harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Common problems we fix in Dalabrog
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Around Dalabrog, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What window mastic looks like in Dalabrog
Dalabrog is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
For an older house near a landmark such as Daliburgh Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Outdoor work around Dalabrog depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Dalabrog: your questions answered
Does the coastal weather in Dalabrog affect outside sealant?
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.
Can you do window mastic in Dalabrog?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Dalabrog is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote so we can plan the job.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.

Why deal with it now?
Not every sealant suits a window. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?

What affects the quote in Dalabrog
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
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.
