Frames and glazing around Port na Craig
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Letting a property close to Pitlochry station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. In the older streets around Baptist Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Port na Craig
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you’re dealing with black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and rooflight joints letting water in, we can help.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Port na Craig as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Port na Craig
Will you come out to Port na Craig?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Port na Craig in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Port na Craig is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you replace glass?
No. A misted unit has failed inside, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Outdoor work around Port na Craig 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.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Port na Craig
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing, and we’ll tell you if that is not the case. Around Port na Craig, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Do you need glazing silicone in Port na Craig?
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they do not move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Managing a site like Croftinloan School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
