Mundole Window Mastic
Window and door frames in Mundole need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
How we handle window mastic in Mundole
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. If you’re dealing with gaps where the sill meets the wall and hard, cracked sealant around windows, we can help, on window sills, composite doors and aluminium frames alike.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Mundole is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Outdoor work around Mundole depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- 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
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Check the mastic once a year
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
Common questions in Mundole
Do you cover smaller places like Mundole?
Yes. Mundole is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Mundole?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. For high or awkward windows, we’ll tell you what access is needed.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that’s a different fix, and we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Mundole
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
Rented homes near Forres station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Window mastic in Mundole: local notes
Mundole is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
Historic houses such as Logie House, about 3.9 miles south, show how far back building around Mundole goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Managing a site like Forres Academy? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
