About our glazing silicone in Strathkinness
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. We work on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for most jobs. Around Strathkinness, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- 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
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Around Strathkinness, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.

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.
Do you cover smaller places like Strathkinness?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
How long does glazing silicone take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
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 we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
What we’re called out for in Strathkinness
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
Around Strathkinness, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What preparation is included
What glazing silicone looks like in Strathkinness
Strathkinness is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Leuchars station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
