Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames normally suit brown.

How we handle window mastic in Johnstonebridge
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 and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. Common call-outs are for rushed sealant from a window installation and whistling draughts around closed windows, on uPVC windows, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors.
In and around a place like Johnstonebridge, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Around Johnstonebridge, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What else we do in Johnstonebridge
Frames and glazing around Johnstonebridge
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. 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.
In and around Johnstonebridge, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What we’re called out for in Johnstonebridge
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 cannot stretch. That is what backing rod is for.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
In the older streets around Johnstone Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We look for the cause first.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
What we do, step by step
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 anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Outside jobs in Johnstonebridge need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
