- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
Why deal with it now?
Not every sealant suits a window. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. In a place like Windhill, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

Window mastic in Windhill, done properly
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on window sills, patio & French doors and aluminium frames, and the jobs we see most are hard, cracked sealant around windows and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Windhill is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How the job changes by surface
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.

What else we do in Windhill
Windows and doors in Windhill
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
Rented homes near Muir of Ord station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Windhill questions
Do you cover Windhill for window mastic?
Yes, Windhill is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Muir of Ord station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
How long will my window job take?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Do you need window mastic in Windhill?
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
If you live in an older home near Gilchrist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Outdoor work around Windhill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
