What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Around Auchtermuchty, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Frames and glazing around Auchtermuchty
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.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What else we do in Auchtermuchty
What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, including the one between the sill and the frame above. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Auchtermuchty and across Fife. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Signs you need window mastic in Auchtermuchty
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid can’t stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends

Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.

Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is the new sealant paintable?
It depends on the sealant. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Mention any painting plans before we start.
How many windows can you do in a day?
A few frames take a few hours. We confirm the timing with your quote.

Why act early in Auchtermuchty
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Around Auchtermuchty, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
