About our window mastic in Lochardil
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 and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. If you are dealing with draughts coming in around windows and doors and cracked sealant at the sill ends, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Lochardil, 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.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

What affects the cost of window mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much there is to do
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
For window mastic in Lochardil, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Lochardil questions
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Lochardil?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you cover smaller places like Lochardil?
Yes. Lochardil is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s coming through the window seals, we’ll tell you.
When to call us in Lochardil
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Look out for any of the following:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
For landlords with property near Inverness station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Around Lochardil, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- 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
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Faulty window hardware
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal

- Window sills
- uPVC windows

Window mastic in Lochardil: local notes
Lochardil is within about 3 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.
Around Lochardil, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens if it’s left?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
