Questions from Miltonduff
I let a flat near Elgin station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do window mastic in Miltonduff?
Yes, Miltonduff 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.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Window mastic in Miltonduff
Frames and walls do not move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and window sills, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked sealant at the sill ends and old mastic that has gone black or come away.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Miltonduff is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Miltonduff depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic normally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Windows and doors in Miltonduff

What we’re called out for in Miltonduff
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.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
Schools such as Elgin High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
