Our window mastic service in Inverclyde
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. We’re often asked to deal with white mastic on grey or black frames and gaps left after new windows were fitted, on window sills, aluminium frames and patio & French doors.
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.

Window mastic across Inverclyde: local notes
Across Inverclyde, from Greenock, Port Glasgow and Gourock outwards, frames range from older timber to modern uPVC and aluminium. Each needs the right sealant, and every joint wears out eventually.
Our work covers the whole of Scotland, Inverclyde included. Journeys are planned ahead, and outside jobs are booked around the forecast. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in Inverclyde can see heavy use in busy months, which is hard on sealant and grout, and the weather is hard on the outside too.
Greenock: If you look after a building such as Wellington Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Historic houses such as Ardgowan House, about 4.1 miles south-west, show how far back building around Greenock goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
What affects the cost of window mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why act early?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who turns up on the day
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
For anyone letting property in or around Inverclyde, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
Inverclyde questions
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not usually, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Inverclyde, along with the rest of our area.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears 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, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
