Glazing silicone across Kinfauns and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job from start to finish. Outdoor work around Kinfauns depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, 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.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Glazing silicone in Kinfauns, done properly
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Kinfauns depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and agents in Kinfauns can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Why act early in Kinfauns
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- We agree the colour with you first
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

What else we do in Kinfauns
What glazing silicone looks like in Kinfauns
Kinfauns is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In and around Kinfauns, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For landlords with property near Perth station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Kinfauns is about 4 miles east of Perth, in Perth and Kinross. If you need glazing silicone in Kinfauns, it’s easy to get a quote: please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Nearby, we also carry out glazing silicone in Glencarse (2 miles east), St Madoes (2 miles south-east), Tarsappie (3 miles west), Scoonieburn (3 miles west) and Scone (3 miles north-west).

Local landmarks in Kinfauns
For rail, the closest station is Perth station, roughly 3.4 miles west of the centre. A little further out are Perth Museum (3.1 miles west) and Kinfauns Castle (1.1 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Kinnoull Hill.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Cracked or broken glass
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof

Common questions in Kinfauns
Do you work for landlords with property near Perth station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Kinfauns within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
It depends on the cause. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
