About our glazing silicone in Dornie
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you are dealing with failed sealant around rooflight glass and leaks from the base of a shower screen, we can put it right, on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Dornie is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dornie
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Cracked or broken glass
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

Frames and glazing around Dornie
Dornie 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’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around St Duthuc's Roman Catholic Chapel, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Is Dornie within the area you cover?
Yes. Dornie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?

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.

What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead can’t grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
When to call us in Dornie
Sealant laid over old sealant doesn’t last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
Around Dornie, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the cure time is
- Whether they’re fully insured
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and the area is left clean. For a place like Dornie, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
