Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homes and businesses in Banknock and across Falkirk. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

Window mastic in Banknock, done properly
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on timber windows & doors, composite doors and uPVC windows, and common reasons people get in touch are draughts coming in around windows and doors and draughty joints inside around the window.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Banknock is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What window mastic looks like in Banknock
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For an older house near a landmark such as Haggs Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you let a flat or house near Cumbernauld station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
Banknock is about 3 miles north-east of Cumbernauld, in Falkirk. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Banknock can book us for window mastic. The work is guaranteed for a year. Banknock is one of 50 places in Falkirk we cover. We also work in Glasgow, about 16 miles from Banknock.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Check the mastic once a year
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so mention any painting plans before work begins. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
What we’re called out for in Banknock
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
Schools such as Abronhill High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Why act early in Banknock
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Around Banknock, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
