What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outdoor work around Baile a' Mhanaich depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. 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.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

How we handle glazing silicone in Baile a' Mhanaich
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. If you are dealing with conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, we can help.
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 covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
What glazing silicone looks like in Baile a' Mhanaich
Baile a' Mhanaich 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. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
Whether the job is in Baile a' Mhanaich itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Common questions in Baile a' Mhanaich
Does the coastal weather in Baile a' Mhanaich affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.

Yes. Baile a' Mhanaich is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Baile a' Mhanaich
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
The most common problems we see are:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
In and around Baile a' Mhanaich, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
