About our glazing silicone in Craichie
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. We work on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Craichie questions
Is Craichie in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Craichie is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Craichie within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Craichie
Sealant laid over old sealant doesn’t last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Around Craichie, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What else we do in Craichie
Windows and doors in Craichie
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. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Dunnichen Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Leave it or put it right?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Craichie need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
