About our window mastic in Kemnay
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. If you have gaps where the sill meets the wall and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Kemnay, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kemnay and across Aberdeenshire.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
Kemnay homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional 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.
Homes close to Kemnay Parish Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Kintore station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kemnay Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

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 call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Kemnay: your questions answered

Which products do you use?

Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Outside jobs in Kemnay need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property

- Aluminium frames

What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kemnay
Not every sealant suits a window. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
