Glengolly Glazing Silicone
Glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens in Glengolly, with a one-year guarantee on every job. Call for a quick quote.

- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Why it’s worth doing now in Glengolly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

What glazing silicone looks like in Glengolly
Glengolly is close to 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. 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.
Managing a site like Thurso High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Glengolly is about 2 miles south-west of Thurso, in Highland. We provide glazing silicone to householders, landlords and businesses in Glengolly and the surrounding area, as part of our work across Highland. We cover 253 towns and villages across Highland.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Glengolly
I let a flat near Thurso station. Can you help?
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’ll give you a clear price.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Glengolly?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Glengolly?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It does not last. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
When to call us in Glengolly
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
The most common problems we see are:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Rented homes near Thurso station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
