Glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens in Scatness, with a one-year guarantee on every job. Call for a quick quote.
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Scatness
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. If you are dealing with sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Why act early in Scatness
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. In a place like Scatness, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Scatness

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Scatness homes and the weather
Scatness is within about 1 mile 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. On the islands, wind and salt spray are hard on outside sealant.
Whether the job is in Scatness itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. In and around Scatness, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so a straight, even finish matters.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
