Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Sandwick
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases, and common reasons people get in touch are drips on the inside of a conservatory window and cracked silicone between glass panels.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Sandwick is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business

Why it’s worth doing now in Sandwick
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing, and we will tell you if that’s not the case. In an older home around Sandwick, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.
Why us?
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Full insurance on every job
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- You choose the colour before work begins

Do you need glazing silicone in Sandwick?
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
Around Sandwick, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What glazing silicone looks like in Sandwick
Sandwick 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. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
For jobs in and around Sandwick, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Sandwick is in the Shetland Islands. Across the ZE2 area, we cover glazing silicone for homes and businesses. 63 places in the Shetland Islands are on our list, large and small.

We also cover Hoswick (1 mile west), Mail (2 miles north), Levenwick (2 miles south-west), Bremirehoull (3 miles north) and Bigton (3 miles south-west).

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take a few hours for most jobs. Outdoor work around Sandwick depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Sandwick: your questions answered
Do you cover Sandwick for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Sandwick is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Sandwick any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. A misted unit has failed inside, and a glazier needs to replace it.
