About our glazing silicone in Melvich
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. If you’re dealing with water tracking down the inner face of the glass and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can put it right, on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Melvich depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Glass that needs replacing
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Melvich
Do you cover smaller places like Melvich?
Yes. Melvich is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Melvich any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Melvich.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Why act early in Melvich
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. 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 price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- We agree the colour with you first
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- 12-month guarantee on every job

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.
Melvich homes and the weather
Melvich is close to 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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Whether the job is in Melvich itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Melvich 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.
- 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.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
When to call us in Melvich
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
Around Melvich, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
