Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant. We use a neutral-cure product.
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
How we handle window mastic in Castlemilk
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We work on timber windows & doors, composite doors and window sills, and people most often call us about mastic that’s falling out in pieces and gaps left after new windows were fitted.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, though many have since been replaced. In Castlemilk, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Castlemilk and everywhere else we cover.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Castlemilk homes and the weather
Castlemilk is in the west of Scotland, which 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, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Croftfoot station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Historic houses such as Pollok House, about 3.7 miles north-west, show how far back building around Castlemilk goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Honest limits

- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- A sash or casement that will not close properly

Why it’s worth doing now in Castlemilk
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. In a tenement flat in Castlemilk, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Common problems we fix in Castlemilk
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Managing a site like St Margaret Mary's Secondary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Inside a flat in Castlemilk, 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 go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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 before the next move-in.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
