We cover Direcleit for mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.

About our window mastic in Direcleit
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you will get a clear quote before we start. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the number of frames and any access details for window mastic in Direcleit. If you have untidy mastic left by window fitters and cracked sealant at the sill ends, we can help, on composite doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors alike.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere like Direcleit may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Work for landlords, hotels 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 that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Direcleit and across Na h-Eileanan Siar. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Common questions in Direcleit
Will you come out to Direcleit?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do window mastic in Direcleit?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Direcleit is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What happens if it’s left?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. In an older home around Direcleit, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- We agree the colour with you first
- We never seal over old sealant

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
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.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
What affects the quote in Direcleit
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut 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. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Window mastic in Direcleit: local notes
Direcleit 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In the older streets around Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Around Direcleit, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Direcleit (Gaelic: Diraclett) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Our applicators cover window mastic for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Direcleit. Our Na h-Eileanan Siar coverage runs to 87 places, and Direcleit is one of them.
