How we handle glazing silicone in Garve
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. If you have stained, discoloured glazing silicone and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can help, whatever the surface.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing for a typical job. Around Garve, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What happens if it’s left?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. In a place like Garve, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Garve homes and the weather
Garve is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Around Garve, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you let a flat or house near Garve station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Garve (Gaelic: Gairbh) is about 20 miles north-west of Inverness, in Highland. From the centre of Garve to the outskirts, glazing silicone is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Our area takes in 253 places across Highland, from the larger towns to small villages.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Landlord and commercial work in Garve
Landlords and agents in Garve can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Garve questions
Do you cover Garve for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Garve is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Garve?
Yes, Garve 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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Do you replace glass?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal

How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is usually sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
