Window mastic for homes and businesses in Plocrapool
Frames and walls do not move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on uPVC windows, composite doors and aluminium frames, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant at the sill ends and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Do you need window mastic in Plocrapool?
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
Around Plocrapool, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we quote for window mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and photos are welcome.
Why deal with it now?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. 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.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Your questions about window mastic in Plocrapool
Do you cover smaller places like Plocrapool?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do window mastic in Plocrapool?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Plocrapool is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan for it.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
What window mastic looks like in Plocrapool
Plocrapool 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. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain.
Whether the job is in Plocrapool itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, and the area is left clean. Around Plocrapool, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- 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
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. The sealant must cope with it.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as that is a job for a joiner.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Plocrapool and across Na h-Eileanan Siar. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
