What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Auchenreoch may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.

Advice
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Auchenreoch
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. If you have hard, cracked sealant around windows and rushed sealant from a window installation, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Auchenreoch is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How we quote for window mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Joints and surfaces we work on
- uPVC windows
- Window sills
- Composite doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
Auchenreoch homes and the weather
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Auchenreoch is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kirkintilloch High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Lenzie station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
