Glazing silicone in Carnbo

Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. Common call-outs are for leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and mouldy sealant around glass panels, on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and rooflights.

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.

Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Carnbo homes and the weather

Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. 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 Carnbo itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What we do, step by step

A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Carnbo may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.

  1. We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
  2. We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
  3. The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
  4. We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
  5. The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Move anything stored near the joints

Advice

What we cannot put right

New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:

  • Failed flashing around a conservatory
  • A sagging or failing conservatory roof
  • Rotten or badly damaged frames

Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we seal

  • Conservatory frames
  • Glass balustrade bases
  • Shower screens
  • Glass-to-glass joints
  • Glass-to-frame joints
  • Rooflights

Different surfaces, different methods

Rooflights

We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.

Conservatory frames

Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.

Should I try it myself first?

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Aftercare tips

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
  • Stick to mild cleaners on glass
  • Keep air moving in the conservatory
  • Inspect the sealant on glazing annually

Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.

Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

Do you need glazing silicone in Carnbo?

Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Mouldy sealant around glass panels
  • Leaks from the base of a shower screen
  • Failed sealant around rooflight glass
  • Water getting into a conservatory at the joints

Around Carnbo, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
