Glazing & conservatory sealant in Balgowan, Perth and Kinross
Problem with your glazing joints in Balgowan? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
Glazing silicone in Balgowan
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. If you have water tracking down the inner face of the glass and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, we can help, on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints alike.
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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Balgowan: your questions answered
Will you come out to Balgowan?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is glazing silicone in Balgowan guaranteed?
All our work, in Balgowan and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A broken pane or roof panel
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
Why deal with it now?
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that is not the case. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, 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, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outdoor work around Balgowan depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Frames and glazing around Balgowan
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For jobs in and around Balgowan, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Balgowan, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
