Na Gearrannan: your questions answered
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Na Gearrannan?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you cover Na Gearrannan for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Na Gearrannan is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote so we can plan the job.
How long will my window job take?
A few frames take a few hours. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Window mastic in Na Gearrannan, done properly
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on patio & French doors, window sills and composite doors, and people most often call us about mastic that’s falling out in pieces and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster.
In and around a place like Na Gearrannan, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Window mastic in Na Gearrannan: local notes
Na Gearrannan is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Whether the job is in Na Gearrannan itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Na Gearrannan, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why act early in Na Gearrannan
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. In a place like Na Gearrannan, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
