How we quote for glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint

- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

About our glazing silicone in Scarfskerry
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We work on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are rooflight joints letting water in and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Scarfskerry may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property
How to get a quote

When it isn’t the sealant

Landlord and commercial work in Scarfskerry
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
Glazing silicone in Scarfskerry: local notes
Scarfskerry is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Castle of Mey, about 1.9 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Scarfskerry, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. In and around Scarfskerry, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common questions in Scarfskerry
Do you cover Scarfskerry for glazing silicone?
Yes, Scarfskerry is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Does the coastal weather in Scarfskerry affect outside sealant?
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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We do not replace glass. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why act early in Scarfskerry
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that is not the case. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
