- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
Window mastic in Ardler
Colour matters on a frame. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We are often asked to deal with gaps left after new windows were fitted and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, across aluminium frames, composite doors and timber windows & doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Ardler depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Window mastic in Ardler: local notes
Historic houses like Balhary House (about 2.9 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Ardler has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In and around Ardler, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What else we do in Ardler
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. The job normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outside jobs in Ardler need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
What we’re called out for in Ardler
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Homes close to Ardler Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What to look for in a quote
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How much experience the applicator has
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
Ardler questions
Is window mastic in Ardler guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Ardler?
Yes. Ardler is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long will my window job take?
A handful of frames is a short visit. You will get a timescale with the quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall and tooled smooth.
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.
