Common questions in Craigellachie
Do you cover smaller places like Craigellachie?
Yes. Craigellachie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do glazing silicone in Craigellachie?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Craigellachie is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It does not last. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
That depends where the water is getting in. Sealant joints we can renew but roof and panel problems need another trade.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Glazing silicone in Craigellachie
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 if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we’ll tell you. We work on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about split or lifting silicone on glass and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Frames and glazing around Craigellachie
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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
In and around Craigellachie, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you live in an older home near Church Of Macallan And Burial Ground With Elchies Mausoleum, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:

What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Roughly how big the job is

Why it’s worth doing now in Craigellachie
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Around Craigellachie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
