- Black, perished sealant on frames
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.

What else we do in Killin
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Outside jobs in Killin 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. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that, where a rigid one would crack.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. We will point out any rot we find, as that is a job for a joiner.
When it is not the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Faulty window hardware
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work in Killin
- uPVC windows
- Window sills

When to call us in Killin
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
In and around Killin, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What window mastic looks like in Killin
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Whether the job is in Killin itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
