Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant, and acetoxy silicones aren’t used, as they can attack some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. The sealant must cope with it, where a rigid one would crack.
Window mastic in Pirnmill
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. Typical jobs include hard, cracked sealant around windows and white mastic on grey or black frames, across patio & French doors, uPVC windows and aluminium frames.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Pirnmill may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What sealant work can’t fix

- Broken hinges, locks or handles

Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Pirnmill
Will you come out to Pirnmill?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Pirnmill?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s coming through the window seals, we will tell you.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.

Pirnmill homes and the weather
Pirnmill 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you live in an older home near Pirnmill Church Of Scotland, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why deal with it now?
Not every sealant suits a window. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Around Pirnmill, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Also in Pirnmill
Do you need window mastic in Pirnmill?
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. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Around Pirnmill, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
