Glazing & conservatory sealant in Cannich, Highland
Our applicators work in Cannich on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How we handle glazing silicone in Cannich
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. If you’re dealing with split or lifting silicone on glass and leaks from the base of a shower screen, we can put it right.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outdoor work around Cannich depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Landlord and commercial work in Cannich
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Common problems we fix in Cannich
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
For an older house near a landmark such as Our Lady and St Bean's Rc Chapel, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long the guarantee is
- Are they insured?
Why deal with it now?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

- We are fully insured
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

What glazing silicone looks like in Cannich
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
In and around Cannich, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
