Window mastic in Brig o'Turk, done properly
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. We work on aluminium frames, composite doors and window sills, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and white mastic on grey or black frames.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Windows and doors in Brig o'Turk
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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Trossachs Primary School Schoolhouse, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Quotes for window mastic in Brig o'Turk
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Do you need window mastic in Brig o'Turk?
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
If you live in an older home near Achray Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere like Brig o'Turk 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 start by checking each window and door with you.
- 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.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as that’s a job for a joiner.
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. The sealant must cope with it, where a rigid one would crack.
