How we handle window mastic in Uig
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. If you are dealing with water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and black, perished sealant on frames, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Uig depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Uig homes and the weather
Uig 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. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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 the older streets around Church of Scotland, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like Uig Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames and we leave things clean and tidy. For a place like Uig, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Look round the frames every year or so
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Surface by surface
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. We pay most attention there.
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
Quotes for window mastic in Uig
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Common questions in Uig
Do you cover Uig for window mastic?
Yes, Uig is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Uig?
Yes, Uig is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What does window mastic cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why deal with it now?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Around Uig, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
