How we handle window mastic in Kiltarlity
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. Common call-outs are for draughty joints inside around the window and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, across composite doors, window sills and patio & French doors.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Outdoor work around Kiltarlity depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Can you reach windows above the ground floor?

Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will match it as closely as we can.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. The sealant must cope with it.

What window mastic looks like in Kiltarlity
Kiltarlity is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Beauly station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

When to call us in Kiltarlity
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
The most common problems we see are:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
In and around Kiltarlity, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
