Window mastic in Kirktown
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. Common call-outs are for draughty joints inside around the window and leaking joints at the ends of sills, on patio & French doors, composite doors and uPVC windows.
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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Around Kirktown, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Common questions in Kirktown
Do you cover smaller places like Kirktown?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Does someone need to be in?

How many windows can you do in a day?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. You’ll know the timing when we quote.

We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.

Yes, where they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch and we will plan for it.
Kirktown homes and the weather
Kirktown is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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 Fergus Parish Church and Churchyard, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Do you need window mastic in Kirktown?
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
In and around Kirktown, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
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.
Why act early in Kirktown
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. In a place like Kirktown, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
