Glazing silicone for Murkle and the surrounding area: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Ask us for a quick quote.
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
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.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Murkle
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and mouldy sealant around glass panels, we can help, on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and rooflights alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Murkle depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Murkle
Why deal with it now?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that is not the case. 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.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out

Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The type of property
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass and reseal with glazing silicone.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Glass that needs replacing
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
Windows and doors in Murkle
Murkle is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you let a flat or house near Thurso station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Around Murkle, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Murkle questions
Does the coastal weather in Murkle affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thurso station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Murkle?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
