What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a city area like Danestone, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- 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

Advice
How we handle window mastic in Danestone
Around Danestone we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. Typical jobs include whistling draughts around closed windows and gaps left after new windows were fitted, across uPVC windows, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, though many have since been replaced. Whether you are in a tenement flat or a house in Danestone, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Faulty window hardware

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Why it’s worth doing now in Danestone
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

What affects the cost of window mastic
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Roughly how big the job is

- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before

Danestone: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Dyce station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Danestone?
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.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How many windows can you do in a day?
Allow a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
What does window mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Common problems we fix in Danestone
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
If you let a flat or house near Dyce station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the colour is chosen

Frames and glazing around Danestone
Danestone is within about 3 miles of 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. Historic houses like Provost Skene's House (about 2.5 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Danestone has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Bridge of Don Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as Danestone Congregational Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
