Window mastic in Wardhill, done properly
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, the work is priced before anything is done. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the number of frames and any access details. We work on timber windows & doors, composite doors and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are rushed sealant from a window installation and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Wardhill depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, and the area is left clean. Outdoor work around Wardhill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Common problems we fix in Wardhill
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
Around Wardhill, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they insured?
- Whether VAT is included
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Faulty window hardware
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Window sills
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors

Window mastic in Wardhill: local notes
Wardhill 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. On the islands, wind and salt spray are hard on outside sealant.
Whether the job is in Wardhill itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Wardhill is about 15 miles north-east of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We provide window mastic to homes and businesses in Wardhill and the surrounding area, as part of our work across the Orkney Islands. Wardhill is one of 51 towns and villages in the Orkney Islands where we work for window mastic.
We work across KW17 for window mastic and the streets around it. Wardhill is on the B9060, so it’s easy for us to get to with everything needed for window mastic.

Common questions in Wardhill
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Wardhill?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Is Wardhill within the area you cover?
Yes, Wardhill is covered. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We can do either or both.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll use the nearest match.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. For high or awkward windows, we’ll tell you what access is needed.
What affects the quote in Wardhill
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
For a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
What happens if it’s left?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
