How we handle glazing silicone in An Tairbeart
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. Typical jobs include a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens.
In and around a place like An Tairbeart, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Frames and glazing around An Tairbeart
An Tairbeart is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Ballyhennan Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you let a flat or house near Arrochar & Tarbet station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In an older home around An Tairbeart, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof

What else we do in An Tairbeart
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

An Tairbeart questions
Does the coastal weather in An Tairbeart affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is An Tairbeart within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
What does glazing silicone cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on the amount of work.
