What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Patio & French doors
- uPVC windows

- Composite doors
- Timber windows & doors

When to call us in St John's Town of Dalry
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Black, perished sealant on frames
Whether the job is in St John's Town of Dalry itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Landlord and commercial work in St John's Town of Dalry
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Why deal with it now?
Not every sealant suits a window. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How the job changes by surface
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, including the one between the sill and the frame above. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Composite doors
A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
