Frames and glazing around Navidale
Navidale 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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Around Navidale, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it. For landlords with property near Helmsdale station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Navidale is about 33 miles south of Thurso, in Highland. Jobs in Navidale get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. We cover 253 towns and villages across Highland, from the larger towns to small villages.

How we handle glazing silicone in Navidale
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on conservatory frames, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are mouldy sealant around glass panels and failed sealant around rooflight glass.
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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together.

Why it’s worth doing now in Navidale
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Common questions in Navidale
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Navidale any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
I let a flat near Helmsdale station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Navidale?
We do not publish prices, because the cost 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.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Navidale.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
