Window & door mastic in Inveraray, Argyll and Bute
Window and door frames in Inveraray need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Window mastic in Inveraray, done properly
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you have sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and leaking joints at the ends of sills, we can help, on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and uPVC windows alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Inveraray depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Inveraray and across Argyll and Bute.

How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. The sealant must cope with it without cracking.
Questions from Inveraray
Does the coastal weather in Inveraray affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Will you come out to Inveraray?
Yes, Inveraray is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
How long will my window job take?
A handful of frames is a short visit, while a whole house takes longer. We confirm the timing with your quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Windows and doors in Inveraray
Inveraray is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Inveraray Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Common problems we fix in Inveraray
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- White mastic on grey or black frames
In and around Inveraray, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
