Window mastic in Kilmahog, done properly
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. Typical jobs include cracked sealant at the sill ends and a bead that doesn’t match the frame, on aluminium frames, composite doors and window sills.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Kilmahog and across Stirling.

Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. In an older home around Kilmahog, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, depending on the amount of work. Outside jobs in Kilmahog need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Surface by surface
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Other services in Kilmahog
Windows and doors in Kilmahog
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Schools such as McLaren High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- A bead that does not match the frame
For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew's Episcopal Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
