Window mastic in Etteridge
Colour matters on a frame. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. If you have draughty joints inside around the window and black, perished sealant on frames, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Etteridge is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Etteridge
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
In and around Etteridge, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Windows and doors in Etteridge
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain.
Rented homes near Newtonmore station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep timber frames painted
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a place like Etteridge, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
