Glazing & conservatory sealant in Arinagour, Argyll and Bute
We cover Arinagour for glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for most jobs. Outdoor work around Arinagour depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Glazing silicone in Arinagour
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We work on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are drips on the inside of a conservatory window and stained, discoloured glazing silicone.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why act early in Arinagour
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.

Arinagour: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Arinagour?
Yes. Arinagour is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Arinagour any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Silicone does not stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Do you replace glass?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Frames and glazing around Arinagour
Arinagour 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. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Breachacha House (about 4.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Arinagour has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
In and around Arinagour, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Common problems we fix in Arinagour
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Homes close to Coll Parish Church (Church Of Scotland) include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
