How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
About our window mastic in Kinneil
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We work on uPVC windows, patio & French doors and composite doors, and the jobs we see most are a bead that doesn’t match the frame and whistling draughts around closed windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Kinneil depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Window mastic in Kinneil: local notes
Kinneil 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. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Culross Palace (about 3.3 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Kinneil as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bo'ness Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to Kinneil Parish Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Linlithgow station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere like Kinneil may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the quote in Kinneil
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

When you contact us, these details help:

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep timber frames painted
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
Why act early in Kinneil
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. In a place like Kinneil, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
