What affects the cost of window mastic
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
- Whether the work is at height
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.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Window mastic in Lochcarron: local notes
Lochcarron is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Attadale station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. In the older streets around Lochcarron Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Lochcarron is in Highland. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Lochcarron is covered for window mastic, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. We cover 253 towns and villages across Highland.

When to call us in Lochcarron
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lochcarron School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- How hidden problems are handled
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outside jobs in Lochcarron 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 is not affected.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Other services in Lochcarron
Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, including the one between the sill and the frame above. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Your questions about window mastic in Lochcarron
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Lochcarron any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Is Lochcarron within the area you cover?
Yes. Lochcarron is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll use the nearest match.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We do one or both.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Lochcarron?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
