How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a place like Hatton of Fintray, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Window mastic in Hatton of Fintray
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on composite doors, uPVC windows and window sills, and the jobs we see most are gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Hatton of Fintray is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Frames and glazing around Hatton of Fintray
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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you let a flat or house near Kintore station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Homes close to Old Parish Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Check the mastic once a year
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
Surface by surface
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hatton of Fintray
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic normally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
