Window mastic in Loans
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, the work is priced before anything is done. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached. If you are dealing with a bead that doesn’t match the frame and rushed sealant from a window installation, we can put it right, on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and uPVC windows alike.
In and around a place like Loans, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Loans
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the quote in Loans
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Faulty window hardware
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal

- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors

Window mastic in Loans: local notes
Loans is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Loans is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
Managing a site like Marr College? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and St Meddan include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Common questions in Loans
Do you work for landlords with property near Barassie station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Loans?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes, we do both. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
How long will my window job take?
A handful of frames is a short visit. You’ll get a timescale with the quote.
Do you come to Loans?
Yes. We work in Loans and the rest of South Ayrshire. For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Outdoor work around Loans depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
How to get a quote
