How we quote for glazing silicone

Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • The product the joint needs
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Working hours on commercial sites

Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What to tell us for a quote

To make quoting easier, let us know:

  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • Where the property is
  • How we’d reach the joints

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

Glazing silicone in Fettercairn

Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. We work on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and water tracking down the inner face of the glass.

In and around a place like Fettercairn, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Fettercairn

Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Why us?

  • A 12-month guarantee on all work
  • Over 20 years’ experience
  • You choose the colour before work begins
  • ARBOMaster approved applicator

DIY versus a professional finish

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Fettercairn homes and the weather

Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.

For an older house near a landmark such as Fettercairn Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Fettercairn

Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
  • Leaks from the base of a shower screen
  • Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
  • Glass-to-glass joints that have split

If you let a flat or house near Laurencekirk station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • How the colour is chosen
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.

Glass-to-glass joints

Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.

What sealant work cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Glass that needs replacing
  • Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
  • Frames that have decayed or split

If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
