Window & door mastic in Farr, Highland
We cover Farr for mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that.
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain. We pay most attention there.
Window mastic in Farr
Around Farr we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. If you have gaps left after new windows were fitted and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, we can help, on uPVC windows, patio & French doors and aluminium frames alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Farr and across Highland.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
When to call us in Farr
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
In and around Farr, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What insurance they hold
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Frames and glazing around Farr
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
Whether the job is in Farr itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Questions from Farr
Do you cover Farr for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Farr is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is window mastic in Farr guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
How much does window mastic cost in Farr?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere like Farr may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
