Glazing & conservatory sealant in Ballifeary, Highland
Professional glazing silicone in and around Ballifeary, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Ballifeary
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. We’re often asked to deal with leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, on shower screens, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Ballifeary 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.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
How to get a quote

Advice
Other services in Ballifeary
Do you need glazing silicone in Ballifeary?
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
For an older house near a landmark such as Ness Bank 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 all the old sealant comes out first
- How the colour is chosen
- Are they insured?
- Is VAT in the price?
How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that is not the case. In an older home around Ballifeary, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- A choice of colours where the product allows
What glazing silicone looks like in Ballifeary
Ballifeary is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Inverness High School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Inverness station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Inverness station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
