Window mastic in Ardbrecknish
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. If you have mastic that’s falling out in pieces and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, we can help, on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and window sills alike.
In and around a place like Ardbrecknish, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.

Is the new sealant paintable?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
How long will my window job take?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. We’ll tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How much does window mastic cost in Ardbrecknish?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so they get particular care.
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, depending on the size of the job. Around Ardbrecknish, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Signs you need window mastic in Ardbrecknish
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
For landlords with property near Falls of Cruachan station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
