Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames

Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Window mastic in Shiskine
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, the work is priced before anything is done. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the number of frames and any access details. We are often asked to deal with mastic that’s falling out in pieces and white mastic on grey or black frames, on uPVC windows, aluminium frames and patio & French doors.
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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What window mastic looks like in Shiskine
Shiskine is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
Around Shiskine, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you live in an older home near St Molios Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Around Shiskine
The countryside around Shiskine includes Àrd Bheinn and Loch Iorsa.
Why deal with it now?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Around Shiskine, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.

- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- 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.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Shiskine questions
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Shiskine any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you do window mastic in Shiskine?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Shiskine is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
