What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work usually takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Outdoor work around Pitcalnie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Pitcalnie
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and we give a 12-month guarantee on the work. Common call-outs are for leaking joints at the ends of sills and white mastic on grey or black frames, on uPVC windows, composite doors and window sills.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What else we do in Pitcalnie
Why act early in Pitcalnie
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it 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. 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.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Common problems we fix in Pitcalnie
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Rented homes near Fearn station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
Questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Pitcalnie
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Fearn station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Pitcalnie any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Normally, yes. We plan safe access before the job.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not generally, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will use the nearest match.
Pitcalnie homes and the weather
Pitcalnie is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Around Pitcalnie, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
