Window mastic in Tillietudlem, done properly

If you have a bead that doesn’t match the frame and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Tillietudlem, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Surface by surface
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
When to call us in Tillietudlem
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
Rented homes near Carluke station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. 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.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
