About our window mastic in Bridge of Orchy
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. We’re often asked to deal with untidy mastic left by window fitters and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, on window sills, uPVC windows and patio & French doors.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house from start to finish. For a place like Bridge of Orchy, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Common problems we fix in Bridge of Orchy
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
For landlords with property near Bridge of Orchy station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
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 window mastic looks like in Bridge of Orchy
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
