Why act early in Knightsridge
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. In an older home around Knightsridge, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Knightsridge
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. Typical jobs include draughty joints inside around the window and rushed sealant from a window installation, across composite doors, window sills and aluminium frames.
In and around a place like Knightsridge, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
What window mastic looks like in Knightsridge
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Historic houses like Howden House (about 1.1 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Knightsridge has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Livingston North station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Schools such as Inveralmond Community High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near St Andrew's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Outdoor work around Knightsridge depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
