Window & door mastic in Ruisgarry, Na h-Eileanan Siar
Window mastic for Ruisgarry, by sealant specialists with 20+ years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Draughty joints inside around the window
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Check the mastic once a year
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
Window mastic in Ruisgarry
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. If you have hard, cracked sealant around windows and old mastic that has gone black or come away, we can put it right, on window sills, composite doors and patio & French doors alike.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

What we’re called out for in Ruisgarry
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
In and around Ruisgarry, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ruisgarry
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Around Ruisgarry, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We never seal over old sealant
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- One-year guarantee on every job

Window mastic in Ruisgarry: local notes
Ruisgarry is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Island weather, with its wind and salt spray, is tough on the mastic around window and door frames.
Whether the job is in Ruisgarry itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
