Glazing & conservatory sealant in Dury, Shetland Islands
Glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens for householders, landlords and businesses in Dury. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Water running down inside the glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
How we handle glazing silicone in Dury
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. We are often asked to deal with silicone pulling away from the glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, across glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints.
In and around a place like Dury, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Around Dury, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- 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.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
Why deal with it now?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Dury: your questions answered
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Dury?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Will you come out to Dury?
Yes. Dury is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
What guarantee do I get?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Frames and glazing around Dury
Dury is close to 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. On the islands, wind and salt spray are hard on outside sealant.
Around Dury, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Dury is in the Shetland Islands. From the centre of Dury to the outskirts, glazing silicone is available for homes and businesses alike. Dury is one of 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands we cover.

Do you need glazing silicone in Dury?
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.

- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
