Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so a straight, even finish matters.
How we handle glazing silicone in Pitcalnie
Across Pitcalnie, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. We work on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are glass-to-glass joints that have split and failed sealant around rooflight glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Pitcalnie depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Pitcalnie
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
The most common problems we see are:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Rented homes near Fearn station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
Why it’s worth doing now in Pitcalnie
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. In an older home around Pitcalnie, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

FAQs for Pitcalnie
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Pitcalnie?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Will you come out to Pitcalnie?
Yes. Pitcalnie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to every job we do.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Pitcalnie need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Windows and doors in Pitcalnie
Pitcalnie is close to 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. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out.
