How we handle window mastic in Kirkton of Durris
Frames and walls don’t move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and composite doors, and people most often call us about gaps left after new windows were fitted and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
In and around a place like Kirkton of Durris, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kirkton of Durris
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that’s needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. In a place like Kirkton of Durris, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

- One-year guarantee on every job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Kirkton of Durris homes and the weather
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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you live in an older home near St Comgall's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. In and around Kirkton of Durris, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common questions in Kirkton of Durris
What guarantee comes with window mastic in Kirkton of Durris?
All our work, in Kirkton of Durris and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Kirkton of Durris within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Aberdeenshire.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Most silicone cannot be painted. Let us know beforehand, and we will use a paintable product where it suits.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Faulty window hardware
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Outside jobs in Kirkton of Durris need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
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 do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Surface by surface
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
