- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Black, perished sealant on frames

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
How we handle window mastic in Pittulie
Homes in Pittulie have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and window sills, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant at the sill ends and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill.
In and around a place like Pittulie, 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.

Questions from Pittulie
Is Pittulie in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Pittulie is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Pittulie any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
What does window mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Frames and glazing around Pittulie
Pittulie 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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Around Pittulie, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we quote for window mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house for a typical job. Outdoor work around Pittulie 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 start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
Ask for a quote

Do you need window mastic in Pittulie?
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
Schools such as Fraserburgh Academy are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
