Glazing silicone in Grimsay, done properly
We work across Grimsay on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you’re dealing with drips on the inside of a conservatory window and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, we can put it right, on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Grimsay depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outside jobs in Grimsay need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grimsay
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Grimsay homes and the weather
Grimsay is within about 1 mile of 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Whether the job is in Grimsay itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. 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.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
When to call us in Grimsay
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products do not bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Failed joints on frameless glass
In and around Grimsay, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common questions in Grimsay
Do you cover smaller places like Grimsay?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Grimsay any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
