Kinlochewe Window Mastic

- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
Landlord and commercial work in Kinlochewe
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Window mastic in Kinlochewe
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are draughts coming in around windows and doors and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame.
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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house for a typical job. Outdoor work around Kinlochewe depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

How we quote for window mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
If you’re in Kinlochewe and need window mastic, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Keep timber frames painted
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Condensation trapped between the panes
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Kinlochewe: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Kinlochewe?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do window mastic in Kinlochewe?
Yes, Kinlochewe is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Kinlochewe?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Windows and doors in Kinlochewe
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In and around Kinlochewe, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Kinlochewe, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
