What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
About our glazing silicone in Connel
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we will tell you. We work on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Do you need glazing silicone in Connel?
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products do not bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
The most common problems we see are:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Rented homes near Connel Ferry station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cure time is
- Whether you can choose the colour
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Connel homes and the weather
Connel 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. Connel is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain.
In the older streets around St Oran's Church of Scotland, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Connel depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Connel
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. In an older home around Connel, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Connel
I let a flat near Connel Ferry station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Connel any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No, our work is the silicone. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
