Window mastic in Invergowrie, done properly
Frames and walls do not move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. If you have cold air getting in at the frame edge and white mastic on grey or black frames, we can put it right, on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows alike.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Invergowrie, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Common questions in Invergowrie
Do you work for landlords with property near Invergowrie station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Invergowrie any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the joint suits the frame.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A few frames take a few hours. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Look round the frames every year or so
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Invergowrie
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
If you manage several properties in or around Invergowrie, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
When to call us in Invergowrie
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- White mastic on grey or black frames
In the older streets around All Souls Episcopal Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- What the cure time is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is VAT in the price?
What affects the quote in Invergowrie
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
- Access and height
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.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the property is
We do not publish a price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Window mastic in Invergowrie: local notes
Invergowrie is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you let a flat or house near Invergowrie station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Schools such as Menzieshill High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How the visit works
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 any work begins. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a tenement in Invergowrie, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Advice
How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
