Your questions about glazing silicone in Colbost
Can you do glazing silicone in Colbost?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Colbost is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Colbost within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Glazing silicone in Colbost, 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. Typical jobs include silicone pulling away from the glass and leaks from the base of a shower screen, across shower screens, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Colbost is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing from start to finish. Outside jobs in Colbost need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Quotes for glazing silicone in Colbost
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. Around Colbost, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- We agree the colour with you first
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Over 20 years’ experience

Windows and doors in Colbost
Colbost is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. 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 failed outside joints work against that.
Whether the job is in Colbost itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Colbost, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Surface by surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
