Glazing silicone in Forres, done properly
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. If you are dealing with leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and failed joints on frameless glass, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a town like Forres, stone-built older streets normally sit alongside harled houses and newer estates, so windows range from sash and case in older buildings to uPVC on newer homes. Each needs the right sealant against the right wall.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Common questions in Forres
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Forres any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
I let a flat near Forres station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We don’t install or replace the glass.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. 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.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.

Frames and glazing around Forres
Forres is within about 3 miles 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 sound outside sealant is part of that.
In the older streets around Castlehill Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Andersons Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Forres station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Forres is about 12 miles west of Elgin, in Moray. Wherever you are in the IV36 postcode area, we cover glazing silicone for homes and businesses. Forres is one of 58 towns and villages in Moray we cover for glazing silicone. For nearby work, see our Aberdeen page.

Landmarks near Forres

Other landmarks nearby include Forres Castle (within half a mile north) and Leanchoil Hospital (1 mile east). The countryside around Forres includes Sanquhar Loch and Cluny Hill.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
Why it’s worth doing now in Forres
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. If you live in a flat in Forres, failed sealant can send water to the neighbours below, and that is much harder to put right.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
