About our glazing silicone in Lochardil

Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Common call-outs are for cracked silicone between glass panels and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, across glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints.

Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.

You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What the job involves on each surface

Glass-to-frame joints

Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.

Conservatory frames

Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Lochardil

Lochardil homes and the weather

Lochardil is within about 3 miles of 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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.

Around Lochardil, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

When it isn’t the sealant

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

  • Structural problems with a conservatory roof
  • Failed flashing around a conservatory
  • A sealed unit that has misted inside

If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Where we work in Lochardil

What we’re called out for in Lochardil

Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
  • Glass-to-glass joints that have split
  • Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
  • Water running down inside the glass

Letting a property close to Inverness station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Lochardil questions

I let a flat near Inverness station. Can you help?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.

Do you cover smaller places like Lochardil?

Yes, Lochardil is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Which silicone is used for glass joints?

A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?

That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.

What does glazing silicone cost?

The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work has a one-year guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?

If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Looking after it afterwards

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid scraping close to the bead
  • Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
  • Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
  • Check the gutters above the glazing for debris

Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.

If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.

What happens on the day

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job. Around Lochardil, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.

  1. We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
  2. We cut away the failed silicone.
  3. The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
  4. New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
  5. We inspect the work and test it where we can.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the work
  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
