About our window mastic in Kippen
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. If you’re dealing with cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, we can help, on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and composite doors alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Kippen depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Windows and doors in Kippen
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, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Around Kippen, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

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.
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.
Signs you need window mastic in Kippen
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
For jobs in and around Kippen, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.

Common questions in Kippen
What guarantee comes with window mastic in Kippen?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do window mastic in Kippen?
Yes, Kippen is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Outside jobs in Kippen need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
