Our window mastic service in East Ayrshire
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. Either or both can be done. We work on uPVC windows, composite doors and window sills, and people most often call us about mastic that has split away from the wall and mastic that’s falling out in pieces.
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are and we leave things clean and tidy.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
What you’ll pay
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why choose Mr Mastic
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- You choose the colour before work begins

Local landmarks in Kilmarnock
Typical jobs here are in homes near Henderson Church Of Scotland, The Wheatsheaf Inn and Kilmarnock Academy, among other places. Kilmarnock has its own railway station: Kilmarnock station. A little further out are Burns Monument Centre (under half a mile north-east) and Dean Castle (0.9 miles north-east). Not far away are Caprington Loch.
Frames and weather across East Ayrshire
In East Ayrshire, window mastic work takes in houses, flats, conservatories and commercial glazing, from Kilmarnock, Stewarton and Cumnock to the quieter places in between. Every outside joint is sealed dry and clean, so the forecast plays its part.
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across East Ayrshire. In the coastal parts of East Ayrshire, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, so they’re often the first to fail. The right product and careful preparation help it last.
Kilmarnock: Schools such as Kilmarnock Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Kilmarnock station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Landlord and commercial work in East Ayrshire
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
What affects the quote in East Ayrshire
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
To get a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
When it is not the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Faulty window hardware
Why deal with it now?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well.

East Ayrshire: your questions answered
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What does window mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so it can be worth sealing both.
Do you come to East Ayrshire?
Yes. We cover East Ayrshire, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
