Window mastic in Addiebrownhill, done properly
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. If you’re dealing with water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Addiebrownhill, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Lothian.

Signs you need window mastic in Addiebrownhill
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
Rented homes near Addiewell station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Frames and glazing around Addiebrownhill
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Homes close to Addiewell Church Of Scotland include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why act early in Addiebrownhill
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. In a place like Addiebrownhill, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
