About our window mastic in Lochluichart
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. If you’re dealing with black, perished sealant on frames and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, we can put it right, on timber windows & doors, window sills and aluminium frames 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Lochluichart and across Highland.

Common questions in Lochluichart
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lochluichart station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Lochluichart?
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.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not normally, if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we’ll pick a sealant to suit.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we will tell you what access is needed.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We can do either or both.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How many windows can you do in a day?
A few frames take a few hours. We confirm the timing with your quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
Why act early in Lochluichart
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

When to call us in Lochluichart
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. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Black, perished sealant on frames
Homes close to Lochluichart Parish Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What to look for in a quote
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the colour is chosen
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

Window mastic in Lochluichart: local notes
