About our window mastic in Inverarnan
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you’ll get a clear quote before work begins. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the number of frames and any access details. Common call-outs are for draughty joints inside around the window and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, across composite doors, window sills and timber windows & doors.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as that is a job for a joiner.
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that won’t harm the plastic, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
Landlord and commercial work in Inverarnan
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames from start to finish. Somewhere like Inverarnan 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.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property

You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:

Windows and doors in Inverarnan
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
If you live in an older home near Ardlui Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Ardlui station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Why deal with it now?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In an older home around Inverarnan, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
