Landlords, agents and businesses in Gartcosh
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Window mastic in Gartcosh, done properly
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. We work on composite doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about whistling draughts around closed windows and leaking joints at the ends of sills.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Gartcosh is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. Those corners get the most care.

When to call us in Gartcosh
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid can’t stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster

Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Gartcosh homes and the weather
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. Much of Glasgow is built from red and blond sandstone, and sandstone is porous, so any sealant against it has to be one that won’t stain or attack it.
Schools such as Chryston High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
