Window mastic in Daviot, done properly
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. We work on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about old mastic that has gone black or come away and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Daviot depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What window mastic looks like in Daviot
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Inverurie station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
Daviot is about 4 miles north-west of Inverurie, in Aberdeenshire. Across the AB51 area, we can carry out window mastic at your property. Our Aberdeenshire coverage runs to 161 places, Daviot among them. We also work in Aberdeen, about 17 miles from Daviot.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every sealant suits a window. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Around Daviot, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
When to call us in Daviot
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Look out for any of the following:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
Homes close to Daviot Parish Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Daviot questions
I let a flat near Inverurie station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you do window mastic in Daviot?
Yes, Daviot is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we will confirm what’s needed.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Normally, yes. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we’ll match it as closely as we can.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Around Daviot, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
