DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Glazing silicone in Russland
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 if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we will tell you. Typical jobs include cracked silicone between glass panels and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, across glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Russland depends on the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Russland as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Russland
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products don’t bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Around Russland, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Russland and across the Orkney Islands. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
Need a quote? Please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details. We’ll explain what we’d do and give you a clear quote before we start.
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outside jobs in Russland 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.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
How to get a quote

Advice
Frames and glazing around Russland
Russland 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. With historic houses such as Skaill House (about 4.2 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Russland as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Historic houses such as Skaill House, about 4.2 miles west, show how far back building around Russland goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. In an older home around Russland, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
