I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes, we do both. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly.

What else we do in Kirkton of Tough
Common problems we fix in Kirkton of Tough
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
For an older house near a landmark such as Tough Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What product goes in the joint
- Are they insured?
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. We’ll point out any rot we find, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We look for the cause first.
