Window mastic in Ferryden
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on timber windows & doors, window sills and aluminium frames, and the jobs we see most are white mastic on grey or black frames and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we’re called out for in Ferryden
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. That is what backing rod is for.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
Schools such as Montrose Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Ferryden 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, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Ferryden questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Montrose station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Ferryden?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you cover Ferryden?
Yes, we do. Ferryden is part of the area we cover.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, inside or out.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Ferryden homes and the weather
Ferryden is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Inchbrayock U.F. Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Montrose station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
