How we handle window mastic in Kames
Around Kames we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We’re often asked to deal with black, perished sealant on frames and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, on composite doors, patio & French doors and window sills.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Kames depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

When to call us in Kames
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
Whether the job is in Kames itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the cure time is
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Frames and glazing around Kames
Kames is within about 1 mile of 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. Kames 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 and around Kames, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
