Window mastic in Greenigoe, done properly
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, the work is priced before anything is done. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached. We are often asked to deal with mastic that has split away from the wall and cold air getting in at the frame edge, on aluminium frames, composite doors and uPVC windows.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Greenigoe
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Draughty joints inside around the window
Whether the job is in Greenigoe itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere like Greenigoe may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
Surface by surface
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
Why it’s worth doing now in Greenigoe
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. 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.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

What else we do in Greenigoe
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Greenigoe
Do you cover Greenigoe for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Greenigoe is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Greenigoe?
Yes. Greenigoe is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
How long will my window job take?
Allow most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Frames and glazing around Greenigoe
Greenigoe is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Around Greenigoe, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
