What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere like Kinlochard may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.

Advice
Window mastic in Kinlochard
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We work on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and composite doors, and people most often call us about cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain.
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 of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What window mastic looks like in Kinlochard
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In and around Kinlochard, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

When to call us in Kinlochard
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Whether the job is in Kinlochard itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

FAQs for Kinlochard
Do you cover Kinlochard for window mastic?
Yes, Kinlochard is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Kinlochard?
All our work, in Kinlochard and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long will my window job take?
Allow most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Normally, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll match it as closely as we can.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.

Why act early in Kinlochard
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. In a place like Kinlochard, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:

Landlord and commercial work in Kinlochard
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
