Glazing Silicone in Inver

How we handle glazing silicone in Inver
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. Common call-outs are for black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and rooflight joints letting water in, on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
In and around a place like Inver, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Inver
Is Inver within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Fearn station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We don’t install or replace the glass.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to every job we do.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.

Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a place like Inver, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What you get with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Old sealant always removed completely
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
What we’re called out for in Inver
Sealant laid over old sealant doesn’t last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
If you let a flat or house near Fearn station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Inver homes and the weather
Inver is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Around Inver, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
