Frames and glazing around Kirkmichael
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you live in an older home near Kirkmichael Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Kirkmichael may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Most silicone sealants will not 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.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Kirkmichael can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Your questions about window mastic in Kirkmichael
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Maybole station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Kirkmichael?
Yes, Kirkmichael is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames usually suit brown.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not usually, if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we’ll pick a sealant to suit.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
What we’re called out for in Kirkmichael
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. That is what backing rod is for.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
For landlords with property near Maybole station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
