How we handle glazing silicone in Kilmichael Glassary
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. If you have drips on the inside of a conservatory window and cracked silicone between glass panels, we can help, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

FAQs for Kilmichael Glassary
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Kilmichael Glassary?
All our work, in Kilmichael Glassary and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Kilmichael Glassary?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outside jobs in Kilmichael Glassary need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
When to call us in Kilmichael Glassary
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
The most common problems we see are:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
In and around Kilmichael Glassary, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Glazing silicone in Kilmichael Glassary: local notes
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For an older house near a landmark such as Kilmichael Glassary Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.

Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
