Window mastic for homes and businesses in Moor of Granary
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. We work on window sills, composite doors and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are rushed sealant from a window installation and leaking joints at the ends of sills.
In and around a place like Moor of Granary, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. We’ll point out any rot we find, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
Other services in Moor of Granary
Leave it or put it right?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In an older home around Moor of Granary, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

When to call us in Moor of Granary
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
If you let a flat or house near Forres station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Do you cover smaller places like Moor of Granary?
Yes. Moor of Granary is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Forres station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. 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 any work starts.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Moor of Granary homes and the weather
Historic houses like Logie House (about 4.8 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Moor of Granary has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For an older house near a landmark such as Old Parish Church and Burial Ground, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
