Common questions in Little Ballinluig
Is Little Ballinluig within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Little Ballinluig in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Little Ballinluig is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, in most cases. We plan safe access before the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Window mastic in Little Ballinluig
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on patio & French doors, window sills and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are mastic that’s falling out in pieces and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame.
In and around a place like Little Ballinluig, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out 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.
Signs you need window mastic in Little Ballinluig
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
For landlords with property near Pitlochry station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Frames and glazing around Little Ballinluig
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Strathtay Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why act early in Little Ballinluig
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Outside jobs in Little Ballinluig need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
