Why it’s worth doing now in Poolewe
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. Around Poolewe, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Window mastic in Poolewe, done properly
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. We’re often asked to deal with gaps left after new windows were fitted and cracked sealant at the sill ends, on aluminium frames, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Poolewe depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Poolewe and across Highland.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, including the one between the sill and the frame above. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Check the mastic once a year
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Poolewe may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Frames and glazing around Poolewe
Poolewe 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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Whether the job is in Poolewe itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Do you need window mastic in Poolewe?
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
Around Poolewe, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
