How we handle window mastic in Langlee
Around Langlee we seal all kinds of frames: 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. We work on aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and composite doors, and common reasons people get in touch are hard, cracked sealant around windows and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door and we leave things clean and tidy. Outdoor work around Langlee depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What window mastic looks like in Langlee
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For landlords with property near Tweedbank station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. If you look after a building such as Galashiels Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Langlee is about 1 mile east of Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders.

- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- White mastic on grey or black frames

How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Why act early in Langlee
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Every job guaranteed for a year
