Windows and doors in Newarthill
Historic houses like Cambusnethan House (about 4.3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Newarthill has older buildings as well as new. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brannock High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Carfin station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Window mastic in Newarthill
Frames and walls don’t move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We’re often asked to deal with gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and leaking joints at the ends of sills, on uPVC windows, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Common problems we fix in Newarthill
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid can’t flex. Backing rod sets the right depth.
The most common problems we see are:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
Cambusnethan House, about 4.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Newarthill.

- Is VAT in the price?
- What preparation is included
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Silicone cannot usually be painted, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Outdoor work around Newarthill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
How to get a quote

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that’s needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. 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.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
