How we handle window mastic in Smoo
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. We work on composite doors, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames, and the jobs we see most are hard, cracked sealant around windows and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When to call us in Smoo
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
In and around Smoo, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Check the mastic once a year
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
Surface by surface
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Frames and glazing around Smoo
Smoo is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For jobs in and around Smoo, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Outside jobs in Smoo need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky
