Window Mastic in Torlundy

- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
About our window mastic in Torlundy
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you have rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and black, perished sealant on frames, we can help, on composite doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors alike.
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 one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door for a typical job. Outdoor work around Torlundy depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Common problems we fix in Torlundy
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Draughty joints inside around the window
Schools such as Lochaber High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What else we do in Torlundy
Why deal with it now?
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. In an older home around Torlundy, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Torlundy questions
I let a flat near Banavie station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do window mastic in Torlundy?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Torlundy is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
How long will my window job take?
Allow most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Torlundy homes and the weather
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Torlundy 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.
For landlords with property near Banavie station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Surface by surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.
