New Aberdour homes and the weather
New Aberdour is within about 2 miles 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.
In and around New Aberdour, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you live in an older home near Saint Drostan's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We will tell you if that’s what we find.

FAQs for New Aberdour
Do you cover smaller places like New Aberdour?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover New Aberdour for window mastic?
Yes, New Aberdour is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not normally, if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we’ll pick a sealant to suit.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Should I try it myself first?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why deal with it now?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Around New Aberdour, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We agree the colour with you first
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
Look out for the warning signs: 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.
