Surface by surface
Composite doors
A composite door generally sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as that is a job for a joiner.
How we handle window mastic in Renfrew
The new joint does not have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. Common call-outs are for cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and leaking joints at the ends of sills, on aluminium frames, composite doors and uPVC windows.
Scottish towns like Renfrew tend to mix older stone-built streets, harled houses and newer estates, so windows range from sash and case in older buildings to uPVC on newer homes. The sealant has to suit both the frame and the wall it sits in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Look round the frames every year or so
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
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 it pays to reseal before that happens.
Frames and glazing around Renfrew
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. With historic houses such as Pollok House (about 4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Renfrew as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For landlords with property near Hillington West station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Historic houses such as Pollok House, about 4 miles south-east, show how far back building around Renfrew goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and the area is left clean. For a job in Renfrew, tell us where the work is, how to get in and where to park. Outdoor jobs need a dry day, so they can move if the weather turns.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- 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.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Common questions in Renfrew
I let a flat near Hillington West station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Renfrew for window mastic?
Yes, Renfrew is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the joint suits the frame.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Leave it or put it right?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. In flats with a shared stair in Renfrew, a leak from a failed seal can affect the flat below too, which turns a small job into a bigger one.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

When to call us in Renfrew
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
If you look after a building such as Renfrew High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
