Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
About our window mastic in Glithno
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. If you have a bead that doesn’t match the frame and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, we can help, on uPVC windows, window sills and timber windows & doors alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What window mastic looks like in Glithno
Glithno is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
Letting a property close to Stonehaven station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Why it’s worth doing now in Glithno
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Do you need window mastic in Glithno?
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Draughty joints inside around the window
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mackie Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door and we leave things clean and tidy. Outdoor work around Glithno depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
