DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
About our window mastic in Standburn
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. We are often asked to deal with cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill, on composite doors, window sills and aluminium frames.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Standburn homes and the weather
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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Rented homes near Polmont station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

When to call us in Standburn
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
In and around Standburn, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before you book anyone
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
Leave it or put it right?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. 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.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- You choose the colour before work begins
- We never seal over old sealant
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- We leave the area clean and tidy

Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?

Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames generally suit brown.
