- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Window mastic in Laurencekirk, done properly
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on patio & French doors, uPVC windows and aluminium frames, and the jobs we see most are water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame.
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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Laurencekirk may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Windows and doors in Laurencekirk
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 failed outside joints work against that.
Homes close to Laurencekirk include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Laurencekirk station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

When to call us in Laurencekirk
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Managing a site like Mearns Academy? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
