A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Do you need glazing silicone in Balfour?
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products do not bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
In the older streets around St Comgall's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Glazing silicone in Balfour: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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.
Around Balfour, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Balfour: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Balfour?
All our work, in Balfour and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Balfour in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Balfour is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Why act early in Balfour
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. In a place like Balfour, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
