Window Mastic in Findochty
Window and door frames in Findochty need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- A bead that does not match the frame

- Mastic that has split away from the wall
About our window mastic in Findochty
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and we give a 12-month guarantee on the work. If you are dealing with water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and draughts coming in around windows and doors, we can help, on composite doors, timber windows & doors and uPVC windows alike.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Common problems we fix in Findochty
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
For an older house near a landmark such as Church Of Scotland, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
How we quote for window mastic
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We quote each job on its own. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Frames and glazing around Findochty
Findochty is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
In and around Findochty, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Outside jobs in Findochty need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
