How we handle glazing silicone in Pickletillum
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Common call-outs are for glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and mouldy sealant around glass panels, across glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
In and around a place like Pickletillum, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Landlord and commercial work in Pickletillum

Advice
Frames and glazing around Pickletillum
Pickletillum is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Lady Leng Memorial Chapel include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Leuchars station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Pickletillum questions
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Pickletillum any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
I let a flat near Leuchars station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. In a place like Pickletillum, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
