About our window mastic in Drumnadrochit
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. Typical jobs include a bead that doesn’t match the frame and cracked sealant at the sill ends, on timber windows & doors, window sills and composite doors.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Drumnadrochit is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Frames and glazing around Drumnadrochit
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you look after a building such as Glen Urquhart High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Drumnadrochit: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Drumnadrochit?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Drumnadrochit?
Yes. Drumnadrochit is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, in most cases. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we will use the nearest match.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, in most cases. We plan safe access before the job, so mention the height and anything in the way.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes, we do both. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
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.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Outdoor work around Drumnadrochit depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
What affects the quote in Drumnadrochit
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- The amount of work
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.

Do you need window mastic in Drumnadrochit?
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
Homes close to Kilmore Parish Church of Scotland include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What happens if it’s left?
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. In a place like Drumnadrochit, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Tidy, careful work
- Over 20 years’ experience
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Faulty window hardware
