Glazing silicone near Baile Mòr

About our glazing silicone in Baile Mòr

Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are water running down inside the glass and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away.

Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job in most cases. Outside jobs in Baile Mòr need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.

  1. First we agree the joints to be done.
  2. We cut away the failed silicone.
  3. We clean and prepare the joint.
  4. New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
  5. The joints are checked before we leave.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Tell us about any water getting in

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

If you manage several properties in or around Baile Mòr, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

  • Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
  • Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
  • Get a new leak looked at quickly
  • Avoid scraping close to the bead

Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.

Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.

Baile Mòr homes and the weather

Baile Mòr 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. Baile Mòr is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out.

Around Baile Mòr, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

When to call us in Baile Mòr

On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • New silicone smeared over old sealant
  • Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
  • Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
  • Failed sealant around rooflight glass

For an older house near a landmark such as Iona Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the sealant suits the joint
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • When the joint can take water or movement

How to choose a mastic man

DIY versus a professional finish

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

When something else is needed

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

  • Failed flashing around a conservatory
  • A broken pane or roof panel
  • A frame that needs repairing or replacing

If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
