About our glazing silicone in Lochawe
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. If you are dealing with stained, discoloured glazing silicone and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Lochawe depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and the area is left clean. Outdoor work around Lochawe depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Surface by surface
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Glass that needs replacing
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
FAQs for Lochawe
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Loch Awe station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Lochawe?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first, so you know what you’re paying for.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Lochawe, along with the rest of our area.
When to call us in Lochawe
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That’s why we trace the leak first.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
If you live in an older home near St Conan’s Kirk, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Why it’s worth doing now in Lochawe
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
