Why deal with it now?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google

Window mastic in Broomhill
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. We work on aluminium frames, composite doors and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are mastic that has split away from the wall and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Broomhill, access is the first thing to plan, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Inside a flat in Broomhill, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
Composite doors
A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

Your questions about window mastic in Broomhill
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Broomhill any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Broomhill normally arranged?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds don’t, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames generally suit brown.
How much does window mastic cost in Broomhill?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Most silicone can’t be painted. Let us know beforehand, and we’ll use a paintable product where it suits.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Broomhill homes and the weather
Broomhill is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Rented homes near Aberdeen station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you look after a building such as Albyn School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Broomhill is about 2 miles south of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. Broomhill gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Our area takes in 63 places across Aberdeen, from the larger towns to small villages.

Do you need window mastic in Broomhill?
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 normally mention when they call include:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
If you live in an older home near Ruthrieston West Church And Hall, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How much experience the applicator has
- What insurance they hold
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
