Window mastic in Davidston, done properly
Around Davidston we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. If you’re dealing with draughty joints inside around the window and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, we can put it right, on composite doors, window sills and uPVC windows alike.
In and around a place like Davidston, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why deal with it now?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. 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.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Around Davidston, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Windows and doors in Davidston
Davidston is within about 1 mile of 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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Invergordon station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Around Davidston, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Davidston: your questions answered
Is Davidston within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Davidston 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.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Can new window sealant be painted?
That depends on the product. Silicone is not paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
For anyone letting property in or around Davidston, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
How the job changes by surface
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
