Window & door mastic in Whitehills, Aberdeenshire
We cover Whitehills for mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. For a place like Whitehills, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky

How we handle window mastic in Whitehills
Around Whitehills we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on window sills, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are draughts coming in around windows and doors and untidy mastic left by window fitters.

Common problems we fix in Whitehills
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
If you live in an older home near Trinity Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is VAT in the price?
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.

Whitehills homes and the weather
Whitehills 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. With historic houses such as Duff House (about 2.2 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Whitehills as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Banff Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Whitehills is about 14 miles east of Buckie, in Aberdeenshire. If you need window mastic in Whitehills, it’s easy to get a quote: please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. We’re based in Crawley and cover Aberdeenshire, Whitehills included. Whitehills is one of 161 places in Aberdeenshire we cover. We also work in Aberdeen, about 40 miles from Whitehills.
Work in AB45 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. If you need window mastic at a property on Loch Lane, Knock Lane and Loch Street or a nearby road, our applicators can take on the job.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Look round the frames every year or so
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Landlords and agents in Whitehills can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Whitehills
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. In a place like Whitehills, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
