The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions

About our glazing silicone in Ballinluig
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. We are often asked to deal with rooflight joints letting water in and split or lifting silicone on glass, across shower screens, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Ballinluig is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

FAQs for Ballinluig
Do you work for landlords with property near Pitlochry station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Ballinluig in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Ballinluig is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed and needs replacing by a glazier.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Ballinluig?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Glazing silicone in Ballinluig: local notes
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, 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.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is usually sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Common problems we fix in Ballinluig
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
The most common problems we see are:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
In the older streets around Logierait Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What we cannot put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Condensation trapped between two panes
