Questions from Kingholm Quay
Is Kingholm Quay in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Kingholm Quay is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Dumfries station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote so we can plan the job.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Window mastic in Kingholm Quay
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. If you have mastic that’s falling out in pieces and leaking joints at the ends of sills, we can put it right, on uPVC windows, window sills and timber windows & doors alike.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Window mastic in Kingholm Quay: local notes
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In the older streets around Troqueer Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Dumfries Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Outdoor work around Kingholm Quay 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 start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Kingholm Quay

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Kingholm Quay can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Common problems we fix in Kingholm Quay
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
Letting a property close to Dumfries station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- uPVC windows
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
Surface by surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We will tell you if that’s what we find.
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
