Window mastic for homes and businesses in Fetterangus
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, the work is priced before anything is done. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the number of frames and any access details. We work on window sills, aluminium frames and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are black, perished sealant on frames and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Fetterangus depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What window mastic looks like in Fetterangus
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, 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.
Managing a site like Peterhead Academy? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
Quotes for window mastic in Fetterangus
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What else we do in Fetterangus
Common problems we fix in Fetterangus
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
For an older house near a landmark such as Fetterangus Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door for a typical job. Outside jobs in Fetterangus need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Related advice
Fetterangus: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with window mastic in Fetterangus?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Fetterangus?
Yes, Fetterangus is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is the new sealant paintable?
It depends on the sealant. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone cannot. Tell us if you’re decorating and we’ll choose accordingly.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We can do either or both.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Faulty window hardware
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
