How we handle window mastic in Dunecht
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. Common call-outs are for draughty joints inside around the window and cracked sealant at the sill ends, across uPVC windows, composite doors and timber windows & doors.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What window mastic looks like in Dunecht
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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For jobs in and around Dunecht, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Dunecht, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

What else we do in Dunecht
Why it’s worth doing now in Dunecht
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. Around Dunecht, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

What affects the quote in Dunecht

- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height

What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
Silicone can’t usually be painted, so mention any painting plans before work begins. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so we pay close attention there.
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house for a typical job. For a place like Dunecht, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
