Window mastic in Inveresk
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on window sills, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant at the sill ends and mastic that’s falling out in pieces.
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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why act early in Inveresk
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- We’re fully insured
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Your questions about window mastic in Inveresk
Will you come out to Inveresk?
Yes, Inveresk is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does the coastal weather in Inveresk 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 usually the first to need attention.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How much does window mastic cost in Inveresk?

Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a place like Inveresk, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so they get particular care.
Inveresk homes and the weather
Inveresk is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Hamilton House (about 2.9 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Inveresk as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to St Michael’s Kirk include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Loretto School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What we’re called out for in Inveresk
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.

- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
For landlords with property near Musselburgh station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
