Window mastic for homes and businesses in The Rigg
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. We work on aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and composite doors, and the jobs we see most are damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in The Rigg depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in The Rigg and everywhere else we cover.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, including the one between the sill and the frame above. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, and the area is left clean. Outside jobs in The Rigg need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Is The Rigg within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Usually, yes. Access is planned before work begins, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Window mastic in The Rigg: local notes
The Rigg 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For landlords with property near Auchinleck station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Barony Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Why it’s worth doing now in The Rigg
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. In an older home around The Rigg, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Signs you need window mastic in The Rigg
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Robert Burns Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
