About our glazing silicone in Fairlie
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. If you have leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and leaks from the base of a shower screen, we can help.
In and around a place like Fairlie, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Fairlie: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Fairlie station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Fairlie?
Yes, Fairlie is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It does not last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing from start to finish. Outside jobs in Fairlie need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens if it’s left?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone will not bond to old, and the leak normally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Around Fairlie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

What we’re called out for in Fairlie
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Look out for these signs:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Around Fairlie, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Frames and glazing around Fairlie
Fairlie 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’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Rented homes near Fairlie station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
