Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote so we can plan the job.
When is the sealant fully cured?

What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the joint suits the frame.

Window mastic in Langholm, done properly
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We work on aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and window sills, and the jobs we see most are cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and draughty joints inside around the window.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Why act early in Langholm
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Around Langholm, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Common problems we fix in Langholm
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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
If you look after a building such as Langholm Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Window mastic in Langholm: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Erskine Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
