Frames and glazing around Bogside
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with 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.
Schools such as Coltness High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Cambusnethan House, about 3 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bogside, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

About our window mastic in Bogside
Around Bogside we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. If you have mastic that has split away from the wall and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, we can help.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Bogside is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere like Bogside 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 each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Bogside
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Bogside and across North Lanarkshire. We can quote a run of properties together.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic usually deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. Around Bogside, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Keep timber frames painted
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Silicone cannot normally be painted, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
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.

What else we do in Bogside
Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame isn’t always the mastic: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We look for the cause first.
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
What we’re called out for in Bogside
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Letting a property close to Wishaw station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
