Inverarity Window Mastic
Our applicators work in Inverarity on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Window mastic in Inverarity, done properly
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps left after new windows were fitted and black, perished sealant on frames.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Inverarity depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

What window mastic looks like in Inverarity
With historic houses such as Glamis Castle (about 4.6 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Inverarity as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Inverarity Parish Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

For a place like Inverarity, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Inverarity, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Leave it or put it right?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. In an older home around Inverarity, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Inverarity
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. If the sealant can’t stretch, it splits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
In and around Inverarity, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
