Glazing & conservatory sealant in Hoswick, Shetland Islands
Our applicators work in Hoswick on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Glazing silicone in Hoswick, done properly
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We’re often asked to deal with leaks from the base of a shower screen and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Hoswick depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What else we do in Hoswick
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and the area is left clean. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- 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 the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

FAQs for Hoswick
Does the coastal weather in Hoswick affect outside sealant?
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. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Is Hoswick in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Hoswick is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We find where the water gets in first, so you know what you are paying for.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Hoswick?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What glazing silicone looks like in Hoswick
Hoswick 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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Whether the job is in Hoswick itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

When to call us in Hoswick
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Around Hoswick, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- What the cure time is
- What product goes in the joint
- How long the guarantee is
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Glass that needs replacing
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. Around Hoswick, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- We are fully insured
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
