About our glazing silicone in Brough
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you have water getting into a conservatory at the joints and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can put it right.
In and around a place like Brough, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brough
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will talk you through it.
Why us?
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- We’re fully insured

What glazing silicone looks like in Brough
Brough is within about 1 mile of 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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Whalsay Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Around Brough, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Brough is in the Shetland Islands. We provide glazing silicone to householders, landlords and businesses in Brough and the surrounding area. Our area takes in 63 places across the Shetland Islands.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Brough questions
Will you come out to Brough?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Brough in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Brough is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What guarantee do I get?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, glazing sealant included.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you replace glass?
We do not replace glass. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
