Gott: your questions answered
Can you do window mastic in Gott?
Yes, Gott is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Gott?
Yes. Gott is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
How long will my window job take?
A handful of frames is a short visit, while a whole house takes longer. You will get a timescale with the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across the Shetland Islands.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Most silicone can’t be painted. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Window mastic in Gott, done properly
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you have gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, we can put it right.
In and around a place like Gott, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gott as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, and the area is left clean. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
What affects the quote in Gott
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The amount of work
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so we pay close attention there.
Frames and glazing around Gott
Gott is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
For jobs in and around Gott, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Gott, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
