Window mastic for homes and businesses in Ardrishaig
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. Typical jobs include white mastic on grey or black frames and leaking joints at the ends of sills, across timber windows & doors, window sills and patio & French doors.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Ardrishaig is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What window mastic looks like in Ardrishaig
Ardrishaig 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 window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Ardrishaig is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain.
Managing a site like Lochgilphead High School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Around Ardrishaig, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why act early in Ardrishaig
Not every sealant suits a window. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. In an older home around Ardrishaig, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ardrishaig
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Check the mastic once a year
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.

Can you do window mastic in Ardrishaig?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Ardrishaig is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Ardrishaig?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Generally, yes. Access is planned before we start, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Ardrishaig.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
