Window & door mastic in Kinmuck, Aberdeenshire
Problem with your window and door frames in Kinmuck? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Kinmuck may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

About our window mastic in Kinmuck
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. If you’re dealing with cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and white mastic on grey or black frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Kinmuck depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
- Window sills
Kinmuck homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Kintore station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Around Kinmuck, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. In an older home around Kinmuck, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Surface by surface
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
Composite doors
A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.

How do I get a quote for window mastic in Kinmuck?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we’ll say so.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
