Window & door mastic in Strichen, Aberdeenshire
Window and door frames in Strichen need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, including the one between the sill and the frame above. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Strichen
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. If you have cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and white mastic on grey or black frames, we can help, whatever the surface.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Strichen
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Around Strichen, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, depending on how much there is to do. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Windows and doors in Strichen
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In and around Strichen, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Faulty window hardware
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Do you need window mastic in Strichen?
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Black, perished sealant on frames
In the older streets around All Saints' Episcopal Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- What guarantee comes with the work
