Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Aberfoyle
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights, and people most often call us about split or lifting silicone on glass and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Aberfoyle homes and the weather
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals 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 an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for most jobs. Outdoor work around Aberfoyle depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work
