Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
Composite doors
A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.

In and around a place like Kilchoan, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door in most cases. Outside jobs in Kilchoan need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Before we arrive

Questions from Kilchoan
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Kilchoan?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is Kilchoan in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kilchoan is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone cannot. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How long will my window job take?
A handful of frames is a short visit, while a whole house takes longer. You’ll get a timescale with the quote.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes, for 12 months. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kilchoan
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Window mastic in Kilchoan: local notes
Kilchoan is within about 1 mile 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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Homes close to Ardnamurchan Parish Church of Scotland include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Around Kilchoan, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
