Windows and doors in Kingsteps
Kingsteps 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’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Nairn Academy? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Nairn station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
Kingsteps is about 1 mile north-east of Nairn, in Highland. From the centre of Kingsteps to the outskirts, we cover window mastic for every kind of property. 253 places in Highland are on our list. We also work in Aberdeen, about 71 miles from Kingsteps.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.

Your questions about window mastic in Kingsteps
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Kingsteps any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Will you come out to Kingsteps?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We can do either or both.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch so we can plan the job.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Surface by surface
Composite doors
A composite door generally sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. We’ll point out any rot we find, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Why act early in Kingsteps
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. 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.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- 12-month guarantee on every job

How we quote for window mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Where the property is

- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Check the mastic once a year
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
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. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
