Window & door mastic in Milton of Leys, Highland
Problem with your window and door frames in Milton of Leys? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
How the job changes by surface
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.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
How we handle window mastic in Milton of Leys
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you have sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and mastic that has split away from the wall, we can put it right.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Milton of Leys is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Milton of Leys homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Inverness Royal Academy are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For landlords with property near Inverness station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What else we do in Milton of Leys
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Why deal with it now?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
