Common questions in Strathore
Is Strathore within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do glazing silicone in Strathore?
Yes, Strathore is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Glazing silicone in Strathore, done properly
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We are often asked to deal with glass-to-glass joints that have split and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Strathore is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Strathore may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Do you need glazing silicone in Strathore?
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Managing a site like Kirkcaldy High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
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.
What glazing silicone looks like in Strathore
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, 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 Glenrothes with Thornton station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. In the older streets around Old Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Why deal with it now?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
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.
