About our glazing silicone in Forbes
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. If you have conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Forbes depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Windows and doors in Forbes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of 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.
In the older streets around Alford Parish West Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Around Forbes, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Forbes: your questions answered
Is Forbes in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Forbes is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Forbes?
All our work, in Forbes and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. We renew the sealant. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Forbes
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
Common problems we fix in Forbes
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
The most common problems we see are:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Schools such as Alford Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
