Window & door mastic in Nigg, Highland
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for householders, landlords and businesses in Nigg. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Nigg
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We are often asked to deal with old mastic that has gone black or come away and white mastic on grey or black frames, across uPVC windows, window sills and aluminium frames.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Nigg is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Signs you need window mastic in Nigg
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:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Mastic that has split away from the wall

What window mastic looks like in Nigg
Nigg is close to 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. Nigg is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
If you live in an older home near Church of Scotland Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Questions from Nigg
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Fearn station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Nigg affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
What does window mastic cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not normally, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Usually, yes. We plan safe access before the job.
Do you cover Nigg?
We do. Nigg is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Faulty window hardware
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Window sills
Why deal with it now?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why us?
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

What else we do in Nigg
Landlords, agents and businesses in Nigg
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Nigg and across Highland. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Outside jobs in Nigg need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
