Glazing silicone in Dunkeld
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are split or lifting silicone on glass and glass-to-glass joints that have split.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Dunkeld depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Dunkeld and across Perth and Kinross.

Leave it or put it right?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit

- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Common questions in Dunkeld
I let a flat near Dunkeld & Birnam station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Dunkeld?
Yes. Dunkeld is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
What does glazing silicone cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Surface by surface
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. A full reseal sorts it.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Landlord and commercial work in Dunkeld
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Landlords and agents in Dunkeld can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
What glazing silicone looks like in Dunkeld
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 sound outside sealant is part of that.
For landlords with property near Dunkeld & Birnam station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. In and around Dunkeld, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
