Window mastic in Westrigg, done properly
Colour matters on a frame. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. If you are dealing with cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and draughts coming in around windows and doors, we can help.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What window mastic looks like in Westrigg
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Managing a site like Armadale Academy? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How the job changes by surface

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.

Common problems we fix in Westrigg
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- A bead that does not match the frame
Letting a property close to Blackridge station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
Silicone can’t generally be painted, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
