How we handle glazing silicone in Hestingott
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. If you have stained, discoloured glazing silicone and cracked silicone between glass panels, we can help, on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and glass balustrade bases alike.
In and around a place like Hestingott, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
What else we do in Hestingott
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Hestingott
Do you cover smaller places like Hestingott?
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.
Does the coastal weather in Hestingott affect outside sealant?
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.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Hestingott and the rest of the Shetland Islands.
Do you replace glass?
That is not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside, and a glazier needs to replace it.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Hestingott?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Landlord and commercial work in Hestingott
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Hestingott and across the Shetland Islands. Several sites can go on one quote.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most jobs from start to finish. Outdoor work around Hestingott 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.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
Windows and doors in Hestingott
Hestingott is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. 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 failed outside joints work against that.
In the older streets around Cross Kirk, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hestingott
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone will not bond to old, and the leak normally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
