Window mastic for homes and businesses in Ardpeaton
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. If you’re dealing with leaking joints at the ends of sills and black, perished sealant on frames, we can help, on aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and composite doors alike.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What we are called out for in Ardpeaton
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
If you let a flat or house near Garelochhead station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
Before booking anyone
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long the guarantee is
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. We’ll point out any rot we find, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Ardpeaton: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Garelochhead station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Does the coastal weather in Ardpeaton affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Can new window sealant be painted?
That depends on the product. Silicone is not paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Tell us if you’re decorating and we’ll choose accordingly.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Around Ardpeaton, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Why it’s worth doing now in Ardpeaton
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic usually deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Ardpeaton
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

Ardpeaton homes and the weather
Ardpeaton is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In and around Ardpeaton, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
