How we handle window mastic in Errol
Frames and walls do not move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows, and common reasons people get in touch are rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and untidy mastic left by window fitters.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Errol is planned around 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, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Errol and across Perth and Kinross.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Errol may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Frames and glazing around Errol
Errol is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Homes close to Errol Parish Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

When to call us in Errol
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
In and around Errol, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Errol: your questions answered
Will you come out to Errol?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Errol?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, where it’s safe. For high or awkward windows, we will tell you what access is needed.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll use the nearest match.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. Keeping drainage clear and checking the joints yearly helps them last.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Is the new sealant paintable?
It depends on the sealant. Silicone isn’t paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Tell us if you are decorating and we will choose accordingly.
