Glazing silicone in Arrochar, done properly
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. If you have failed joints on frameless glass and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, we can put it right.
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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Your questions about glazing silicone in Arrochar
Do you cover smaller places like Arrochar?
Yes. Arrochar is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Arrochar any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We don’t replace glass. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Windows and doors in Arrochar
Arrochar is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Rented homes near Arrochar & Tarbet station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

- How we’d reach the joints

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
