Window Mastic in Kingussie
Our applicators work in Kingussie on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames

Window mastic in Kingussie, done properly
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, you’ll get a clear quote before we start. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached. Common call-outs are for sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and black, perished sealant on frames, across uPVC windows, composite doors and window sills.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Kingussie
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. If the sealant can’t stretch, it splits.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
In and around Kingussie, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether you can choose the colour
What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Frames and glazing around Kingussie
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Kingussie is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Outside jobs in Kingussie need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice

Why deal with it now?
Resealing frames is a short job: 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 once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
