Questions from Dowally
Do you cover smaller places like Dowally?
Yes, Dowally is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Dunkeld & Birnam station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We trace the leak first before any sealing.
About our glazing silicone in Dowally
Across Dowally, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method. If you have leaks from the base of a shower screen and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Dowally, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, and the leak normally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In an older home around Dowally, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, 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.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Glass that needs replacing
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Landlord and commercial work in Dowally
If you manage several properties in or around Dowally, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Windows and doors in Dowally
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.
If you let a flat or house near Dunkeld & Birnam station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near St Anne's Church and Churchyard, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job in most cases. Outdoor work around Dowally 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 trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
