Common call-outs are for old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out and draughts and rain around sash boxes, on period & listed homes, sash and case windows and stone surrounds.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Harthill is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

What we are called out for in Harthill
Most of it is simply age. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
Around Harthill, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and terrace windows
Where a building is shared, window work may involve neighbours, so check who is responsible first.
Stone surrounds
Old stone surrounds are often uneven, so the joint varies in width. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
Why it’s worth doing now in Harthill
Draughts round a sash window are not always the sashes. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
