Ellon Window Mastic
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Ellon. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Silicone can’t generally be painted, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Window mastic in Ellon, done properly
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. We are often asked to deal with water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and untidy mastic left by window fitters, across uPVC windows, aluminium frames and patio & French doors.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What else we do in Ellon
Why deal with it now?
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 Ellon, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are and we leave things clean and tidy. Outside jobs in Ellon need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Advice
How we quote for window mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How we’d reach the joints
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What we are called out for in Ellon
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
Schools such as Ellon Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long to leave it before use
What sealant work cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
Frames and glazing around Ellon
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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Ellon, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions from Ellon
Is Ellon in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Ellon is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Ellon?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is the new sealant paintable?
That depends on the product. Silicone isn’t paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
