About our glazing silicone in Birnam
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We are often asked to deal with new silicone smeared over old sealant and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, across conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and shower screens.
In and around a place like Birnam, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Perth and Kinross.

Why it’s worth doing now in Birnam
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. 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.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Over 20 years’ experience
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

Birnam homes and the weather
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Letting a property close to Dunkeld & Birnam station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Around Birnam, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Use gentle products around the joints
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Birnam: your questions answered
Do you cover Birnam for glazing silicone?
Yes, Birnam is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Is Birnam within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
