How the job changes 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.
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Silicone cannot normally be painted, so mention any painting plans before we start. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Outdoor work around Shandon depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Windows and doors in Shandon
Shandon is close to 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. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around window and door frames to keep out.
For landlords with property near Helensburgh Upper station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. If you live in an older home near Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What happens if it’s left?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. In a place like Shandon, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
