Why it’s worth doing now in Skelmorlie
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Around Skelmorlie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Fully insured
- Old sealant always removed completely
- We leave the area clean and tidy

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Skelmorlie
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. We work on uPVC windows, window sills and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are a bead that doesn’t match the frame and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Skelmorlie homes and the weather
Skelmorlie is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Ardgowan House (about 3.4 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Skelmorlie 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.
If you live in an older home near Skelmorlie Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Wemyss Bay station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Skelmorlie is about 7 miles south-west of Greenock, in North Ayrshire. Whether you’re in the middle of Skelmorlie or further out, we cover window mastic for every kind of property. Across North Ayrshire, we cover 53 places, Skelmorlie among them. For nearby work, see our Glasgow page (24 miles or so).

Surface by surface
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. We pay most attention there.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so we pay close attention there.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door from start to finish. Outside jobs in Skelmorlie need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Skelmorlie: your questions answered
Is Skelmorlie within the area you cover?
Yes, Skelmorlie is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Skelmorlie any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We check where the draught is before any work starts.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Most silicone can’t be painted. Let us know beforehand, and we will use a paintable product where it suits.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
