What we’re called out for in Barns of Claverhouse
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Black, perished sealant on frames
For an older house near a landmark such as Mains Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they’re fully insured
How we handle window mastic in Barns of Claverhouse
Homes in Barns of Claverhouse have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on aluminium frames, window sills and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and rushed sealant from a window installation.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Barns of Claverhouse depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.

Window mastic in Barns of Claverhouse: local notes
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. With historic houses such as Camperdown House (about 3.5 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Barns of Claverhouse as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like Baldragon Academy? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Dundee station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so they get particular care.
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.

Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a place like Barns of Claverhouse, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.

Why act early in Barns of Claverhouse
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. In a place like Barns of Claverhouse, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
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.
