- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Glass that needs replacing

How we handle glazing silicone in Longman
Across Longman, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method. If you have water running down inside the glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, we can help.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Leave it or put it right?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. 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.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?

What we are called out for in Longman
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Schools such as Millburn Academy are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Longman questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Inverness station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Longman within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What guarantee do I get?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Longman?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job. Outside jobs in Longman need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Longman homes and the weather
Longman is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Old Allangrange House (about 4.2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Longman has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near East Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Inverness station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
