About our glazing silicone in Lochdon
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we will tell you. Common call-outs are for leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and glass-to-glass joints that have split, on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
In and around a place like Lochdon, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Lochdon
Does the coastal weather in Lochdon affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Do you cover Lochdon for glazing silicone?
Yes, Lochdon is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. A misted unit has failed inside, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, glazing sealant included.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Why act early in Lochdon
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. Around Lochdon, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
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, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

Glazing silicone in Lochdon: local notes
Lochdon 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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Around Lochdon, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it. Whether the job is in Lochdon itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Landmarks near Lochdon
Well-known places in the area include Duart Castle (1.9 miles north-east) and Mull and Iona Community Hospital (3.2 miles north).
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a place like Lochdon, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
