Window mastic in Kyle of Lochalsh
Homes in Kyle of Lochalsh have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. If you are dealing with rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and whistling draughts around closed windows, we can put it right, on window sills, patio & French doors and aluminium frames alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Outdoor work around Kyle of Lochalsh 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.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What else we do in Kyle of Lochalsh
Your questions about window mastic in Kyle of Lochalsh
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Kyle of Lochalsh any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Will you come out to Kyle of Lochalsh?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Windows and doors in Kyle of Lochalsh
Kyle of Lochalsh is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Schools such as Lochalsh School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For landlords with property near Kyle of Lochalsh station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kyle of Lochalsh
Landlords and agents in Kyle of Lochalsh can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Surface 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’ll tell you if that is what we find.
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
