Window & door mastic in Garve, Highland
Problem with your window and door frames in Garve? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- White mastic on grey or black frames
Why act early in Garve
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. In an older home around Garve, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.

About our window mastic in Garve
Homes in Garve have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and window sills, and the jobs we see most are a bead that doesn’t match the frame and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What else we do in Garve
Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating.

Somewhere like Garve may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.

Frames and glazing around Garve
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, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
Around Garve, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Faulty window hardware

Common problems we fix in Garve
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
If you let a flat or house near Garve station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
