Window mastic for homes and businesses in Tulloes
Homes in Tulloes have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. If you are dealing with damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, we can help.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. 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.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Is it messy?

Can you do the inside joint as well?

Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Normally, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will match it as closely as we can.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Outside jobs in Tulloes need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Tulloes 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.
Whether the job is in Tulloes itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Surface by surface
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Do you need window mastic in Tulloes?
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
Around Tulloes, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
