Window mastic for homes and businesses in Wick
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We work on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and window sills, and people most often call us about draughts coming in around windows and doors and mastic that’s falling out in pieces.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Wick is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Signs you need window mastic in Wick
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
Rented homes near Wick station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- The length of the guarantee
Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We will tell you which suits your home.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Wick: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wick station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Wick any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Windows and doors in Wick
Wick is close to 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you look after a building such as Wick High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
