- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
About our glazing silicone in Aird Tong
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We’re often asked to deal with a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, across glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases.
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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need glazing silicone in Aird Tong?
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Whether the job is in Aird Tong itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Common questions in Aird Tong
Is Aird Tong in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Aird Tong is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Aird Tong within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Why deal with it now?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. In a place like Aird Tong, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Why us?
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- We agree the colour with you first
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a place like Aird Tong, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we agree the joints to be done.

Aird Tong homes and the weather
Aird Tong is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Around Aird Tong, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
