About our window mastic in Longforgan
The new joint does not 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. If you have hard, cracked sealant around windows and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Why it’s worth doing now in Longforgan
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. In an older home around Longforgan, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Longforgan homes and the weather
Longforgan is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Camperdown House (about 3.6 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Longforgan has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For an older house near a landmark such as Longforgan Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Invergowrie station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Common questions in Longforgan
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Longforgan?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Will you come out to Longforgan?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Normally, yes. Access is planned before any work starts.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames generally suit brown.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
