Dundonald: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Barassie station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Dundonald affect outside sealant?
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 normally the first to need attention.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Dundonald, along with the rest of our area.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Dundonald homes and the weather
Dundonald is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For an older house near a landmark such as Dundonald Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
Do not touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It forms a skin fairly soon, but takes longer to harden fully.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
Surface by surface
Period and listed homes
On a listed home or in a conservation area, the right material matters. Sand mastic is often the preferred finish.
Timber door frames
Sand mastic is used round timber door frames too. The method is the same as for windows.
