Glazing silicone in Bàgh a'Chaisteil, done properly
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you are dealing with black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and water running down inside the glass, we can put it right.
In and around a place like Bàgh a'Chaisteil, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Glazing silicone in Bàgh a'Chaisteil: local notes
Bàgh a'Chaisteil 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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of our Lady, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Castlebay Community School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a place like Bàgh a'Chaisteil, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof

If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.

- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bàgh a'Chaisteil
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. 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.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
