About our window mastic in Rora
Frames and walls do not move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. If you have draughty joints inside around the window and mastic that has split away from the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Rora depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal, and acetoxy silicones are not used, as they can attack some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
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.
What window mastic looks like in Rora
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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
For jobs in and around Rora, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Common problems we fix in Rora
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- A bead that does not match the frame
In and around Rora, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common questions in Rora
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Rora?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Rora?
Yes. Rora is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s coming through the window seals, we’ll tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
What happens if it’s left?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. 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 depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rora
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames for a typical job. Outside jobs in Rora need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- 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.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
