Window & door mastic in Ballygown, Argyll and Bute
Professional window mastic in and around Ballygown, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors

- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
Window mastic in Ballygown
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 have whistling draughts around closed windows and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Ballygown depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Check the mastic once a year
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep timber frames painted
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.

Windows and doors in Ballygown
Ballygown is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Whether the job is in Ballygown itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What we’re called out for in Ballygown
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, and it lets go sooner than it should.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
In and around Ballygown, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions from Ballygown
Is Ballygown in your area for window mastic?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Ballygown is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Ballygown?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A few frames take a few hours, while a whole house takes longer. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
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.
Can new window sealant be painted?
It depends on the sealant. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone cannot. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.
Leave it or put it right?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Around Ballygown, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, depending on how much there is to do. Outside jobs in Ballygown need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
