Window & door mastic in Strome Ferry, Highland
Window and door frames in Strome Ferry need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
A composite door normally sits in a plastic outer frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
About our window mastic in Strome Ferry
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. Typical jobs include leaking joints at the ends of sills and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, across composite doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors.
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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. In an older home around Strome Ferry, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Strome Ferry homes and the weather
Strome Ferry is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Strome Ferry is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
In the older streets around Church Of Scotland, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Stromeferry station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Strome Ferry is in Highland. Strome Ferry gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 253 places across Highland, large and small.

FAQs for Strome Ferry
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Strome Ferry?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Do you cover smaller places like Strome Ferry?
Yes. Strome Ferry is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Strome Ferry and the rest of Highland.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes, we do both. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and the area is left clean. Around Strome Ferry, 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.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
