About our glazing silicone in Kilkerran
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you’re dealing with new silicone smeared over old sealant and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can put it right, on conservatory frames, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Kilkerran homes and the weather
Kilkerran 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. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain.
Around Kilkerran, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Why deal with it now?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. In an older home around Kilkerran, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Kilkerran: your questions answered
Is Kilkerran in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Kilkerran 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 let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Kilkerran?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does glazing silicone take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Does someone need to be in?
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.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Landlord and commercial work in Kilkerran
For anyone letting property in or around Kilkerran, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
What we’re called out for in Kilkerran
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
For an older house near a landmark such as Kilkerran Old Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What product goes in the joint
- Who turns up on the day
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
