About our window mastic in Inchmarlo
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. We work on aluminium frames, composite doors and window sills, and the jobs we see most are a bead that doesn’t match the frame and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Frames and glazing around Inchmarlo
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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.
Managing a site like Banchory Academy? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Around Inchmarlo, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What affects the quote in Inchmarlo
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Faulty window hardware
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- Timber windows & doors
What happens if it’s left?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. In a place like Inchmarlo, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

- 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.
