About our window mastic in Rickarton
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and we give a 12-month guarantee on the work. If you’re dealing with rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, we can put it right, on composite doors, patio & French doors and uPVC windows alike.
In and around a place like Rickarton, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What affects the quote in Rickarton

- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick 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 matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
FAQs for Rickarton
Do you cover smaller places like Rickarton?
Yes. Rickarton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do window mastic in Rickarton?
Yes, Rickarton is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job usually takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What window mastic looks like in Rickarton
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Stonehaven station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Homes close to Rickarton Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Rickarton is about 13 miles south-west of Aberdeen, in Aberdeenshire. We provide window mastic to homes and businesses in Rickarton. Our area takes in 161 places across Aberdeenshire, large and small. Our Aberdeen page covers work nearby (13 miles or so).

What we seal

- Aluminium frames
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
What happens if it’s left?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
