About our glazing silicone in Port Logan
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints, and the jobs we see most are conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and failed joints on frameless 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. A fresh bead seals them again.
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outside jobs in Port Logan need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Common questions in Port Logan
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Port Logan?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you cover Port Logan for glazing silicone?
Yes, Port Logan is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It doesn’t last. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.

When to call us in Port Logan
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
In and around Port Logan, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before booking anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What insurance they hold
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
Frames and glazing around Port Logan
Port Logan is within about 1 mile of 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, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
For jobs in and around Port Logan, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
