Why it’s worth doing now in Keiss
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. Around Keiss, 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.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Keiss
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about water getting into a conservatory at the joints and failed joints on frameless glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Keiss depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What else we do in Keiss
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Cracked or broken glass
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What glazing silicone looks like in Keiss
Keiss is within about 1 mile of 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 sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you live in an older home near Church of Scotland, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. In and around Keiss, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Keiss is about 15 miles east of Thurso, in Highland. We provide glazing silicone to homes and businesses in Keiss and the surrounding area. Our area takes in 253 places across Highland.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins.

Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.

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.

What affects the quote in Keiss
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The amount of work
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
