Window Mastic in Pitlochry
Specialist window mastic for Pitlochry: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Call for a quick quote.
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep timber frames painted
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
About our window mastic in Pitlochry
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. We work on patio & French doors, composite doors and timber windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked sealant at the sill ends and a bead that doesn’t match the frame.
In and around a place like Pitlochry, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Pitlochry depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How we quote for window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Frames and glazing around Pitlochry
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Homes close to Pitlochry Church of Scotland include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Pitlochry station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

What happens if it’s left?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. 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.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Pitlochry can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
