Kingarth homes and the weather
Kingarth 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. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Kingarth 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.
Around Kingarth, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How we handle window mastic in Kingarth
Homes in Kingarth have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on composite doors, patio & French doors and uPVC windows, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and a bead that doesn’t match the frame.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.

- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

Common problems we fix in Kingarth
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, and a gap filled solid can’t flex. Backing rod sets the right depth.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
Mount Stuart House, about 2.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Kingarth.

Why act early in Kingarth
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, depending on the amount of work. Outdoor work around Kingarth depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
FAQs for Kingarth
Is Kingarth in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kingarth is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Kingarth?
Yes. Kingarth is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that’s a different fix, and we’ll say so.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
