Windows and doors in Ceann Tangabhal
Ceann Tangabhal is within about 1 mile of 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. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
In the older streets around Church of our Lady, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Glazing silicone in Ceann Tangabhal, done properly
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and cracked silicone between glass panels.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Ceann Tangabhal
- Conservatory frames

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Ceann Tangabhal, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
When to call us in Ceann Tangabhal
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products do not bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Schools such as Castlebay Community School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Ceann Tangabhal
Will you come out to Ceann Tangabhal?
Yes. Ceann Tangabhal is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Ceann Tangabhal affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
