Leave it or put it right?
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. In an older home around Hallowood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Window mastic in Hallowood, done properly
The new joint does not 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. We are often asked to deal with gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and white mastic on grey or black frames, on uPVC windows, window sills and aluminium frames.
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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Keep timber frames painted
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so mention any painting plans before we start. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
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.
What affects the quote in Hallowood
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere like Hallowood 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.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
When to call us in Hallowood
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
If you live in an older home near St Andrews-Lhanbryd Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

- Whether you can choose the colour

Windows and doors in Hallowood
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you let a flat or house near Elgin station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. If you look after a building such as Elgin High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What we can’t put right
