Can tenants book the work?

Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A few frames take a few hours. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

How we handle window mastic in Abington
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. If you have cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and black, perished sealant on frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What affects the cost of window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
Common problems we fix in Abington
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
For jobs in and around Abington, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What to look for in a quote
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
Signs to watch for: 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.

Why deal with it now?
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic usually deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. In an older home around Abington, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Abington homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
