Window mastic for homes and businesses in Inverkip
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. Common call-outs are for cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and black, perished sealant on frames, across patio & French doors, window sills and uPVC windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Inverkip depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
Windows and doors in Inverkip
Inverkip is within about 1 mile of 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. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain.
If you let a flat or house near Inverkip station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Outdoor work around Inverkip depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need window mastic in Inverkip
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Homes close to Inverkip Parish Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
