Questions from Golspie
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Golspie any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you work for landlords with property near Golspie station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can new window sealant be painted?
It depends on the sealant. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We can do either or both.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What does window mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
About our window mastic in Golspie
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. If you’re dealing with rushed sealant from a window installation and old mastic that has gone black or come away, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Golspie is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What window mastic looks like in Golspie
Golspie 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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Golspie station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Golspie High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. For a place like Golspie, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What affects the quote in Golspie
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- The type of property
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Surface by surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
Landlord and commercial work in Golspie
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
