Window mastic in Kintore
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. If you have black, perished sealant on frames and cracked sealant at the sill ends, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Kintore is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Window mastic in Kintore: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Kintore station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Keep timber frames painted
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Kintore: your questions answered
I let a flat near Kintore station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do window mastic in Kintore?
Yes, Kintore is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do I need to be at home?
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.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A handful of frames is a short visit. You’ll get a timescale with the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.

Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so they get particular care.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Signs you need window mastic in Kintore
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
In the older streets around Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
