About our glazing silicone in Loch Baghasdail
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. If you are dealing with drips on the inside of a conservatory window and rooflight joints letting water in, we can help, whatever the surface.
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, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Loch Baghasdail: your questions answered
Do you cover Loch Baghasdail for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Loch Baghasdail is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is Loch Baghasdail within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The amount of work
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
To get a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.

What else we do in Loch Baghasdail
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Glass that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What glazing silicone looks like in Loch Baghasdail
Loch Baghasdail is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
In and around Loch Baghasdail, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Loch Baghasdail, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outside jobs in Loch Baghasdail need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
