DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What affects the quote in Kilmaluag
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
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.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
To get a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
What happens if it’s left?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Common problems we fix in Kilmaluag
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
In and around Kilmaluag, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long to leave it before use
- How much experience the applicator has

Questions from Kilmaluag
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Kilmaluag?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Do you cover smaller places like Kilmaluag?
Yes. Kilmaluag is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Kilmaluag?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we’ll say so.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.

Window mastic in Kilmaluag: local notes
Kilmaluag is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For jobs in and around Kilmaluag, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house and we leave things clean and tidy.

- 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.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
