- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, depending on how much there is to do. Outside jobs in Milltown of Rothiemay need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Related advice
Window mastic in Milltown of Rothiemay
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. If you’re dealing with water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and whistling draughts around closed windows, we can put it right, on composite doors, patio & French doors 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens if it’s left?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. In a place like Milltown of Rothiemay, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Milltown of Rothiemay questions
Can you do window mastic in Milltown of Rothiemay?
Yes, Milltown of Rothiemay is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Milltown of Rothiemay?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Quotes for window mastic in Milltown of Rothiemay
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Roughly how big the job is
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send pictures if you have them.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Faulty window hardware
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We will tell you which suits your home.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Window mastic in Milltown of Rothiemay: local notes
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, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.

What we’re called out for in Milltown of Rothiemay
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
In the older streets around Rothiemay Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
