About our glazing silicone in Erbusaig
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. Typical jobs include failed joints on frameless glass and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, on rooflights, shower screens and conservatory frames.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Erbusaig homes and the weather
Erbusaig is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you look after a building such as Lochalsh School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Erbusaig is in Highland. Every kind of property in Erbusaig is covered for glazing silicone. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee. Our Highland coverage runs to 253 places, and Erbusaig is one of them.

What else we do in Erbusaig
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
When to call us in Erbusaig
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
For landlords with property near Duirinish station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How much experience the applicator has
Questions from Erbusaig
Do you work for landlords with property near Duirinish station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Erbusaig?
Yes, Erbusaig is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We do not install or replace the glass.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
How we quote for glazing silicone
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
