We work on composite doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Norseman is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.

Your questions about window mastic in Norseman
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Norseman?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Norseman?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
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.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Window mastic in Norseman: local notes
Norseman is within about 1 mile 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. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
For jobs in and around Norseman, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Norseman is about 7 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Wherever you are in the KW17 postcode area, our applicators can take on window mastic. Norseman is one of 51 towns and villages in the Orkney Islands where we work.

Neighbouring places we cover for window mastic include Isbister (1 mile east), Settiscarth (1 mile west), Gorseness (2 miles north-east), Tingwall (3 miles north-east) and Finstown (3 miles south). For island and remote addresses, the job takes a little more planning.

For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door in most cases. For a place like Norseman, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Signs you need window mastic in Norseman
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Around Norseman, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Faulty window hardware
- Condensation trapped between the panes
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
What affects the quote in Norseman
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Surface by surface
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf normally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We’ll tell you if that’s what we find.
