About our window mastic in Meikle Wartle
Frames and walls don’t move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We work on timber windows & doors, uPVC windows and composite doors, and people most often call us about mastic that’s falling out in pieces and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Your questions about window mastic in Meikle Wartle
Is window mastic in Meikle Wartle guaranteed?
All our work, in Meikle Wartle and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do window mastic in Meikle Wartle?
Yes, Meikle Wartle is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not normally, if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we’ll pick a sealant to suit.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Why act early in Meikle Wartle
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. In a place like Meikle Wartle, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
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’ll explain the quote if you ask.

- Homes, businesses and hotels

Windows and doors in Meikle Wartle
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Meikle Wartle, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Meikle Wartle is about 6 miles north-west of Inverurie, in Aberdeenshire. From the centre of Meikle Wartle to the outskirts, we cover window mastic for every kind of property. Our area takes in 161 places across Aberdeenshire. There’s also a page for Aberdeen, roughly 20 miles from Meikle Wartle.
Every address in AB51 is covered for window mastic, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We also cover Daviot (2 miles south-east), Whiteford (3 miles south), Rothienorman (3 miles north), New Rayne (3 miles west) and Pitcaple (3 miles south).

Common problems we fix in Meikle Wartle
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
Whether the job is in Meikle Wartle itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
