Glazing silicone in Ardgay
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. If you have stained, discoloured glazing silicone and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can put it right.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing from start to finish. Outside jobs in Ardgay need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What else we do in Ardgay
Ardgay homes and the weather
Ardgay is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Ardgay is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain.
In and around Ardgay, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why deal with it now?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.

Questions from Ardgay
I let a flat near Ardgay station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Ardgay?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Ardgay?

What affects the quote in Ardgay

- How many areas need sealing

What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
