How we handle window mastic in Cornton
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you have gaps left after new windows were fitted and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, we can put it right, on aluminium frames, window sills and timber windows & doors alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Cornton depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Cornton and across Stirling.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house for a typical job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- 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.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions

How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What window mastic looks like in Cornton
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you look after a building such as Wallace High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For landlords with property near Stirling station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
