How we handle window mastic in Lacasaidh
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you have old mastic that has gone black or come away and white mastic on grey or black frames, we can put it right, on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and composite doors alike.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Common problems we fix in Lacasaidh
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid can’t flex. That’s what backing rod is for.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
In and around Lacasaidh, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Outdoor work around Lacasaidh depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal, and acetoxy silicones aren’t used, as they can attack some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
Common questions in Lacasaidh
Does the coastal weather in Lacasaidh affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you do window mastic in Lacasaidh?
Yes, Lacasaidh is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote so we can plan the job.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Frames and glazing around Lacasaidh
Lacasaidh 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. Lacasaidh is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain.
For an older house near a landmark such as Kinloch Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
