About our glazing silicone in Port Ellen
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about split or lifting silicone on glass and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Port Ellen and across Argyll and Bute.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Windows and doors in Port Ellen
Port Ellen 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. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out.
If you live in an older home near St John's Church (Port Ellen), frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. We don’t install or replace glass.
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
How we quote for glazing silicone
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites

What else we do in Port Ellen
Do you need glazing silicone in Port Ellen?
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
Look out for any of the following:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
In and around Port Ellen, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which colour the sealant will be
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
