What sealant work can’t fix

- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Glass that needs replacing
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

About our glazing silicone in Rahane
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Typical jobs include failed sealant around rooflight glass and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
In and around a place like Rahane, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
FAQs for Rahane
Do you cover smaller places like Rahane?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Garelochhead station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. We do not install or replace the glass.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.

Rahane homes and the weather
Rahane 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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Hill House, about 4.6 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Rahane.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Whether it has been sealed before

Advice
Common problems we fix in Rahane
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
The most common problems we see are:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
If you let a flat or house near Garelochhead station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether you can choose the colour
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. In a place like Rahane, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
