Window & door mastic in Fort William, Highland
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homes and businesses in Fort William and across Highland. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Black, perished sealant on frames
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We check before we reseal.
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.

From a single sill to a whole house of windows, you will get a clear quote before work begins.

We work on composite doors, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors, and people most often call us about black, perished sealant on frames and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Fort William depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are for a typical job. Outside jobs in Fort William need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Leave it or put it right?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What window mastic looks like in Fort William
Fort William 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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Letting a property close to Fort William station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew's Episcopal Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Lochaber High School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Fort William: your questions answered
Does the coastal weather in Fort William affect outside sealant?
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.
I let a flat near Fort William station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How much does window mastic cost in Fort William?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Silicone generally will not take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we’ll use a paintable product where it suits.
