Why act early in Invergordon
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Painting over failed mastic does not seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
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’ll talk you through it.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.

Windows and doors in Invergordon
Invergordon is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around older windows and doors has to cope with a lot of rain.
If you let a flat or house near Invergordon station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

Common questions in Invergordon
I let a flat near Invergordon station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is sand mastic in a coastal place like Invergordon any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Signs you need sand mastic in Invergordon
Age is the main cause. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time, depending on exposure and upkeep.
Look out for any of the following:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Modern sealant on a period surround
In and around Invergordon, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
