Window mastic in Reddingmuirhead, done properly
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. Typical jobs include hard, cracked sealant around windows and cracked sealant at the sill ends, across patio & French doors, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors.
In and around a place like Reddingmuirhead, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Common problems we fix in Reddingmuirhead
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
If you let a flat or house near Polmont station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether VAT is included
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so they get particular care.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why it’s worth doing now in Reddingmuirhead
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.

Reddingmuirhead homes and the weather
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In the older streets around Brightons Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Graeme High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
