How we quote for glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
About our glazing silicone in Ardchonnell
We work across Ardchonnell on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We’re often asked to deal with a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, across glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and conservatory frames.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Glazing silicone in Ardchonnell: local notes
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Around Ardchonnell, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it. In the older streets around Dalavich Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Ardchonnell: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Ardchonnell?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Ardchonnell for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Ardchonnell is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We do not install or replace the glass.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
DIY versus a professional finish
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. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outside jobs in Ardchonnell need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Why act early in Ardchonnell
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Around Ardchonnell, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
