Kaimhill: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aberdeen station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Kaimhill?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before any work starts, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Generally, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will use the nearest match.
Do you cover Kaimhill?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, and that includes Kaimhill.
Window mastic in Kaimhill, done properly
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, the work is priced before anything is done. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the number of frames and any access details. Common call-outs are for cracked sealant at the sill ends and untidy mastic left by window fitters, across patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Kaimhill.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. For landlords in Kaimhill, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep timber frames painted
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
Windows and doors in Kaimhill
Kaimhill is within about 3 miles of 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. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Windows generally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say.
For landlords with property near Aberdeen station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Airyhall Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Common problems we fix in Kaimhill
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Homes close to Ruthrieston West Church And Hall include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What insurance they hold
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Faulty window hardware
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Inside a flat in Kaimhill, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
