Glazing silicone in Boddam
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. If you’re dealing with shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Boddam depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Frames and glazing around Boddam
Boddam 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 is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Around Boddam, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you live in an older home near Dunrossness Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Boddam is in the Shetland Islands. Boddam gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Boddam is one of 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands we cover.
Every address in ZE2 is within our area for glazing silicone. If you need glazing silicone at a property on Millpund, Turniebrae and Hillock or anywhere close by, we can help. We also cover the places around Boddam: South Scousburgh (1 mile north-west), Hestingott (2 miles south), Exnaboe (2 miles south), Toab (2 miles south) and Scatness (3 miles south). As one of the bigger places in the Shetland Islands, Boddam has every kind of property, from flats to offices. Remote and island addresses need a little more planning, so please mention your location when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs from start to finish. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- 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
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Related advice
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Boddam
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Boddam?
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. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Can you do glazing silicone in Boddam?
Yes, Boddam is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It doesn’t last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- Where the property is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. In a place like Boddam, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
