Window & door mastic in Scourie More, Highland

Window mastic in Scourie More, done properly
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. Common call-outs are for mastic that has split away from the wall and whistling draughts around closed windows, across timber windows & doors, window sills and composite doors.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
Common problems we fix in Scourie More
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid can’t stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- A bead that does not match the frame
In and around Scourie More, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Scourie More homes and the weather
Scourie More is close to 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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For jobs in and around Scourie More, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about window mastic in Scourie More
Will you come out to Scourie More?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Scourie More any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Most silicone can’t be painted. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Highland.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Outdoor work around Scourie More depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
