What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Outdoor work around Castle Kennedy depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Related advice
Window mastic in Castle Kennedy
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. Typical jobs include whistling draughts around closed windows and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, on aluminium frames, uPVC windows and patio & French doors.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Castle Kennedy is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What we’re called out for in Castle Kennedy
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
If you let a flat or house near Stranraer station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- What product goes in the joint
- What preparation is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Look round the frames every year or so
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.

Windows and doors in Castle Kennedy
Castle Kennedy is within about 3 miles 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. Castle Kennedy is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
In the older streets around Old Parish Church and Burial-ground, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Castle Kennedy: your questions answered
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Castle Kennedy any different?
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. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is Castle Kennedy within the area you cover?
Yes. Castle Kennedy is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not generally, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Dumfries and Galloway.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available.
What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
