About our glazing silicone in Ceann Loch Gilb
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. If you have leaks from the base of a shower screen and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, we can help.
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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:

- Condensation trapped between two panes

If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Ceann Loch Gilb
What glazing silicone looks like in Ceann Loch Gilb
Ceann Loch Gilb is close to 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In and around Ceann Loch Gilb, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for most jobs from start to finish. Outside jobs in Ceann Loch Gilb need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.

Common problems we fix in Ceann Loch Gilb

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
