About our window mastic in Muir of Ord
Frames and walls don’t move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We work on patio & French doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors, and people most often call us about gaps left after new windows were fitted and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Windows and doors in Muir of Ord
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, 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 the older streets around Gilchrist, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:

Leave it or put it right?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Silicone can’t usually be painted, so mention any painting plans before we start. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
Common problems we fix in Muir of Ord
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Look out for these signs:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
Rented homes near Muir of Ord station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Does the work come with a guarantee?

Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
