Catrine homes and the weather
Historic houses like Dumfries House (about 3.5 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Catrine has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Catrine Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

About our window mastic in Catrine
Homes in Catrine have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. If you’re dealing with cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Catrine depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Ayrshire.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- 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.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Your questions about window mastic in Catrine
Do you cover smaller places like Catrine?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

What does window mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Catrine.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Catrine.
Leave it or put it right?
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Signs you need window mastic in Catrine
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
If you let a flat or house near Auchinleck station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long the guarantee is
- What the cure time is
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Catrine
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
