You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Dullatur

We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. Common call-outs are for stained, discoloured glazing silicone and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, across rooflights, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints.

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.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

What glazing silicone looks like in Dullatur

Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out.

For landlords with property near Croy station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

DIY versus a professional finish

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Dullatur: your questions answered

Can you do glazing silicone in Dullatur?

Yes, Dullatur is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.

Is Dullatur 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.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Dullatur, along with the rest of our area.

Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?

Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.

Is it worth trying it myself?

It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.

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.

How long will you be here?

As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Bigger jobs take longer.

Aftercare tips

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Check the silicone on glass every year or so
  • Wipe the screen down after showering
  • Do not leave a drip for the next storm
  • Clear the conservatory gutters regularly

Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.

Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • The amount of work

What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Helping us quote

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • A few photos by email, if you can
  • What’s wrong with the joints now

For glazing silicone in Dullatur, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Dullatur

Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Failed joints on frameless glass
  • Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
  • Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
  • Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed

Schools such as Our Lady's High are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What your quote should include

  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • Is VAT in the price?
  • How long the guarantee is
  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are

How to choose a mastic man

What we do, step by step

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Dullatur may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.

  1. First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
  2. Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
  3. Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
  4. We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
  5. The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move anything stored near the joints
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Mention any tricky access

How to get a quote
