Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Window mastic in Inveraldie, done properly
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. Common call-outs are for gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and mastic that has split away from the wall, across timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and composite doors.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Inveraldie is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Windows and doors in Inveraldie
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Dundee sits on the north bank of the Tay, and much of its older housing is sandstone tenements.
Managing a site like Braeview Academy? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Dundee station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Do you cover Inveraldie for window mastic?

Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Silicone generally will not take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we will use a paintable product where it suits.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
Landlord and commercial work in Inveraldie
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 that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
Do you need window mastic in Inveraldie?
Frames are never completely still. 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 can’t keep up eventually tears.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
Homes close to Tealing Parish Church And Churchyard include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
