Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in An Luirg
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. Typical jobs include leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and water running down inside the glass, on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
In and around a place like An Luirg, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Around An Luirg, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Questions from An Luirg
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lairg station?

Should I try DIY first?

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What glazing silicone looks like in An Luirg
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you let a flat or house near Lairg station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Signs you need glazing silicone in An Luirg
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Around An Luirg, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that is not the case. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
