Glazing silicone in Brèibhig, done properly
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We’re often asked to deal with leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and cracked silicone between glass panels, across glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Brèibhig depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What we’re called out for in Brèibhig
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
Managing a site like Castlebay Community School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What preparation is included
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Why act early in Brèibhig
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak usually returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a place like Brèibhig, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Brèibhig: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Brèibhig?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. 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.
Do you cover Brèibhig for glazing silicone?
Yes, Brèibhig is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work has a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Glazing silicone in Brèibhig: local notes
Brèibhig is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Around Brèibhig, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
