Glazing silicone in Ardtun, done properly
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that’s often where the water gets in. If you are dealing with water escaping where a screen meets the wall and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, we can put it right.
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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

FAQs for Ardtun
Is Ardtun in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Ardtun is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Ardtun?
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.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We find where the water gets in first, so you know what you are paying for.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Glazing silicone in Ardtun: local notes
Ardtun is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Ardtun, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you live in an older home near Kilvickeon Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Ardtun is about 29 miles west of Oban, in Argyll and Bute. Wherever you are in the PA67 postcode area, our applicators can take on glazing silicone. Across Argyll and Bute, we cover 118 places, and Ardtun is one of them.

For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ardtun
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak normally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
