How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, including the tidy-up. 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 confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
Getting a quote

Sandford homes and the weather
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sandford is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means the mastic around window and door frames has to cope with a lot of rain.
In and around Sandford, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so we pay close attention there.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. We pay most attention there.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
Common problems we fix in Sandford
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
Managing a site like Strathaven Academy? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
