Findhorn Window Mastic
Problem with your window and door frames in Findhorn? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Black, perished sealant on frames
How we handle window mastic in Findhorn
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. We’re often asked to deal with damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and gaps where the sill meets the wall, across composite doors, aluminium frames and window sills.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We check before we reseal.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, depending on how much there is to do. Outdoor work around Findhorn depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

When to call us in Findhorn
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
If you live in an older home near Findhorn Parish Church and Church Hall, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Windows and doors in Findhorn
Findhorn is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you let a flat or house near Forres station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
Findhorn is about 4 miles north of Forres, in Moray. We carry out window mastic for homes and businesses in Findhorn and the surrounding area, as part of our work across Moray. Across Moray, we cover 58 places, Findhorn among them. Aberdeen is on our list too, around 65 miles away.
Every address in IV36 is covered for window mastic. We cover properties on Elvin Place, Cromarty Court and Fyrish Road. We also cover the places around Findhorn: Kinloss (2 miles south-east), Forres (4 miles south), Red Craig (4 miles south-west), Mundole (5 miles south-west) and Dyke (5 miles south-west).

Local landmarks in Findhorn
Findhorn’s nearest station is Forres station, about 3.2 miles south. Nearby you will also find Findhorn Heritage Centre (0.5 miles north-west) and Forres Castle (3.3 miles south). For a walk, there’s Sanquhar Loch and Culbin Sandhills.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
Why act early in Findhorn
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In an older home around Findhorn, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Your questions about window mastic in Findhorn
I let a flat near Forres station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Findhorn within the area you cover?
Yes, Findhorn is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we’ll pick a sealant to suit.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
