Windows and doors in Larkhall
With historic houses such as Cambusnethan House (about 1.6 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Larkhall as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Larkhall Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Larkhall station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For an older house near a landmark such as St Machan's Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
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.

- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In a Scottish town like Larkhall, parking is normally straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. If you are in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
Why act early in Larkhall
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that’s needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. For landlords in Larkhall, damp and leaks can fall under the Repairing Standard. Replacing failed sealant early is simpler than dealing with a complaint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant, and acetoxy silicones are not used, as they can attack some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
