How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around Longriggend depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Longriggend
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you’re dealing with leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can put it right, on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints alike.
In and around a place like Longriggend, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Common problems we fix in Longriggend
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
If you let a flat or house near Caldercruix station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Longriggend: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Longriggend?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Longriggend in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Longriggend is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
What guarantee do I get?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It doesn’t last. The new bead cannot grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
What does glazing silicone cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
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 Longriggend
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
