- Cracked sealant at the sill ends

What we’re called out for in Aird
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Look out for any of the following:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
If you let a flat or house near Stranraer station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aird
For anyone letting property in or around Aird, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Faulty window hardware
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally 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.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Frames and glazing around Aird
Aird is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Aird is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
For an older house near a landmark such as Old Parish Church and Burial-ground, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Aird is about 2 miles east of Stranraer, in Dumfries and Galloway. Whether you are in the middle of Aird or further out, window mastic is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Across Dumfries and Galloway, we cover 138 places, and Aird is one of them. Glasgow is on our list too, about 71 miles from Aird.
