Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Claddach Kyles
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. If you have mouldy sealant around glass panels and leaks from the base of a shower screen, we can help, on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints alike.
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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Claddach Kyles and across Na h-Eileanan Siar.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs in most cases. Outdoor work around Claddach Kyles depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints

Frames and glazing around Claddach Kyles
Claddach Kyles 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. 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.
Around Claddach Kyles, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common problems we fix in Claddach Kyles
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
For jobs in and around Claddach Kyles, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Claddach Kyles questions
Is Claddach Kyles in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Claddach Kyles is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Claddach Kyles?
Yes. Claddach Kyles 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.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that is not the case. In a place like Claddach Kyles, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
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 make a difference.
