About our window mastic in Skye of Curr
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. We work on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors, and people most often call us about mastic that’s falling out in pieces and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. In an older home around Skye of Curr, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Surface by surface
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant, and acetoxy silicones are not used, as they can attack some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Window mastic in Skye of Curr: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes 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.

Questions from Skye of Curr
Do you cover smaller places like Skye of Curr?
Yes, Skye of Curr is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Skye of Curr for window mastic?
Yes, Skye of Curr is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you need window mastic in Skye of Curr?
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Draughty joints inside around the window
Whether the job is in Skye of Curr itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
