Why it’s worth doing now in Ferryhill
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. Private landlords in Ferryhill must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google

About our window mastic in Ferryhill
Frames and walls don’t move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. If you have mastic that has split away from the wall and draughty joints inside around the window, we can help.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Natural stone around older windows needs a sealant that will not mark or attack it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Ferryhill and across Aberdeen.

What else we do in Ferryhill
Windows and doors in Ferryhill
Ferryhill is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds.
For landlords with property near Aberdeen station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Managing a site like Ferryhill Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Historic houses such as Provost Skene's House, about 0.8 miles north, show how far back building around Ferryhill goes.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Inside a flat in Ferryhill, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Common questions in Ferryhill
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Ferryhill any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Ferryhill get organised?
The owners of the flats generally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we’ll say so.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will match it as closely as we can.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Silicone generally won’t take paint. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
What affects the quote in Ferryhill
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
