Frames and glazing around Newmachar
Aberdeen is known as the Granite City, and granite is hard and dense, so any sealant against it needs clean, sound edges to grip. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Dyce station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. In the older streets around Newmachar Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Newmachar
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. Typical jobs include gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and hard, cracked sealant around windows, across patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and composite doors.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Newmachar is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf generally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We check before we reseal.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Around Newmachar, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Do you need window mastic in Newmachar?
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
If you look after a building such as New Machar Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Leave it or put it right?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Newmachar: your questions answered
Is Newmachar within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dyce station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames generally suit brown.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Newmachar and the rest of Aberdeen, along with the rest of our area.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
