Glazing silicone in Brora, done properly
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. Typical jobs include glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
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.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

What we’re called out for in Brora
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Rented homes near Brora station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Brora
Is Brora within the area you cover?
Yes. Brora is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Brora station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What does glazing silicone cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Brora homes and the weather
Brora 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. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In and around Brora, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Brora is about 29 miles north of Forres, in Highland. We provide glazing silicone to homes and businesses in Brora and the surrounding area. Our area takes in 253 places across Highland, from the larger towns to small villages.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Brora 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 trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
