Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- 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.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Glazing silicone in Carbost, done properly
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are water getting into a conservatory at the joints and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Around Carbost, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- 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.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A sealed unit that has misted inside

What else we do in Carbost
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carbost
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Carbost
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Around Carbost, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
Why book with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Old sealant always removed completely
- We’re fully insured
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Frames and glazing around Carbost
Carbost is close to 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. 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.
Whether the job is in Carbost itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Carbost, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Carbost is in Highland. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Carbost is covered for glazing silicone, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Carbost is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland where we work.
