About our glazing silicone in Old Blair
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We work on shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Old Blair as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outdoor work around Old Blair 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 look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Old Blair: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Blair Atholl station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you do glazing silicone in Old Blair?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Old Blair is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Send us pictures and we’ll take a look.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you need glazing silicone in Old Blair?
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Failed joints on frameless glass
For landlords with property near Blair Atholl station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- The length of the guarantee
- What insurance they hold
- Is VAT in the price?
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
Glazing silicone in Old Blair: local notes
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Old Blair, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. We do not install or replace glass.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, and the leak usually returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
