We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Which sealant suits the joint

- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

- What’s wrong with the joints now

We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How we handle window mastic in Wemyss Bay
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with leaking joints at the ends of sills and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Wemyss Bay, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Inverclyde.

How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
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 a joiner will need to deal with it.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
- uPVC windows
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Around Wemyss Bay, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
FAQs for Wemyss Bay
Does the coastal weather in Wemyss Bay affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wemyss Bay station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
Do you come to Wemyss Bay?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, Wemyss Bay included.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Window mastic in Wemyss Bay: local notes
Wemyss Bay 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Josephs Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Wemyss Bay station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Why act early in Wemyss Bay
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. In an older home around Wemyss Bay, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
