About our glazing silicone in Minnigaff
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. If you have black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can help, on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and shower screens alike.
In and around a place like Minnigaff, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Minnigaff
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
If you live in an older home near Monigaff Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What insurance they hold
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. 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 get it looked at when you first see it.
Frames and glazing around Minnigaff
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Minnigaff is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain.
If you look after a building such as Douglas Ewart High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Why deal with it now?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Minnigaff questions
Is glazing silicone in Minnigaff guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Minnigaff?
Yes, Minnigaff is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We don’t replace glass. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
