About our window mastic in Broomhouse
Homes in Broomhouse have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. If you are dealing with mastic that has split away from the wall and gaps where the sill meets the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Broomhouse is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, which generally means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why deal with it now?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Questions from Broomhouse
Do you work for landlords with property near Kingsknowe station?

Do you cover Broomhouse for window mastic?

Will new mastic stop draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s coming through the window seals, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What does window mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
What affects the cost of window mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much there is to do
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. The sealant must cope with it without cracking.

Advice
Signs you need window mastic in Broomhouse
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
Look out for any of the following:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
In the older streets around St Joseph's RC Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

- What preparation is included

Windows and doors in Broomhouse
Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, often through a property factor. Windows generally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say. Historic houses like Caroline Park (about 4 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Broomhouse has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Forrester High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Kingsknowe station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
