When to call us in Gott
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
In and around Gott, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Glazing silicone in Gott
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on shower screens, rooflights and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about cracked silicone between glass panels and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on how much there is to do. Outdoor work around Gott depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Glazing silicone in Gott: local notes
Gott is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Island weather, with its wind and salt spray, is tough on glazing joints and frame seals.
For jobs in and around Gott, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Gott is in the Shetland Islands. Jobs in Gott get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. 63 places in the Shetland Islands are on our list, large and small.
We work across ZE2 for glazing silicone. Local streets include Stura, Gorsten and Gaet-a-Gott. We also cover the places around Gott: Veensgarth (1 mile south-west), Gremista (3 miles south-east), Heogan (3 miles south-east), Lerwick (4 miles south-east) and Kalliness (4 miles north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Scalloway (4 miles south-west), Brae (15 miles north) and Sandwick (13 miles south). If you are somewhere remote, a little more planning is needed.
Around Gott
A little further out are Montfield Hospital (3.7 miles south-east) and Tingwall Agricultural Museum (1.3 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Setter Hill and Strand Loch.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Use gentle products around the joints
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.

What we cannot put right
