Inverarish Window Mastic

Window mastic in Inverarish
Around Inverarish we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. If you’re dealing with black, perished sealant on frames and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill, we can help, on composite doors, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Inverarish depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Windows and doors in Inverarish
Inverarish 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In and around Inverarish, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Inverarish is in Highland. Wherever you are in the IV40 postcode area, our applicators can take on window mastic. Inverarish is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland where we work for window mastic.

What we are called out for in Inverarish
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
Whether the job is in Inverarish itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.

It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.

How we quote for window mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. In a place like Inverarish, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house from start to finish. Around Inverarish, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
