Window mastic in Portlethen Village, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. We work on composite doors, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are gaps left after new windows were fitted and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door.
In and around a place like Portlethen Village, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, including the one between the sill and the frame above. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. We will point out any rot we find, as that’s a job for a joiner.
Do you need window mastic in Portlethen Village?
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Portlethen Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if the job turns out different
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Window sills
- Aluminium frames

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Outdoor work around Portlethen Village 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.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in

Windows and doors in Portlethen Village
Portlethen Village is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
In the older streets around Portlethen Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Portlethen station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
