How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain. Those corners get the most care.
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant, and acetoxy silicones aren’t used, as they can attack some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.

Signs you need window mastic in Kinlochbervie
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, and a gap filled solid can’t flex. Backing rod sets the right depth.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Managing a site like Kinlochbervie High School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What affects the cost of window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
To get a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere like Kinlochbervie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Windows and doors in Kinlochbervie
Kinlochbervie is close to 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In the older streets around Church of Scotland Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Kinlochbervie is in Highland. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Kinlochbervie can book us for window mastic. The work is guaranteed for a year. Our Highland coverage runs to 253 places, Kinlochbervie among them.

Questions from Kinlochbervie
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Kinlochbervie any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Will you come out to Kinlochbervie?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Usually, yes. Access is planned before work begins, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep timber frames painted
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
