How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints

Glazing silicone in Rubha Ban, done properly
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. Typical jobs include water getting into a conservatory at the joints and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Rubha Ban is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Rubha Ban
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Rubha Ban
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
In and around Rubha Ban, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Why deal with it now?
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. Around Rubha Ban, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why Rubha Ban clients choose us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Windows and doors in Rubha Ban
Rubha Ban is within about 2 miles 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, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Rubha Ban questions
Is Rubha Ban in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Rubha Ban is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Rubha Ban any different?
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.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
