How we handle window mastic in Ochiltree
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. We work on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and composite doors, and common reasons people get in touch are a bead that doesn’t match the frame and cracked sealant at the sill ends.
In and around a place like Ochiltree, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Ayrshire.

Ochiltree homes and the weather
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain. Historic houses like Dumfries House (about 2.2 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Ochiltree has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Rented homes near Auchinleck station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

FAQs for Ochiltree
Is Ochiltree within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Auchinleck station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A few frames take a few hours, while a whole house takes longer. You’ll get a timescale with the quote.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain cannot run into the wall.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Ochiltree, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
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 the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Do you need window mastic in Ochiltree?
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
If you live in an older home near Ochiltree Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- How the colour is chosen
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What affects the cost of window mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
