Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Faulty window hardware
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the cost of window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Around Scatness, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Window mastic in Scatness: local notes
Scatness 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. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
In and around Scatness, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Scatness, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Scatness is in the Shetland Islands. Every kind of property in Scatness can book us for window mastic. The work is guaranteed for a year. 63 places in the Shetland Islands are on our list, large and small.

Common questions in Scatness
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Scatness any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Will you come out to Scatness?
Yes. Scatness is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
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 doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Silicone generally will not take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we will use a paintable product where it suits.
What happens if it’s left?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
