Glazing silicone across Scrabster and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Water running down inside the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
How we handle glazing silicone in Scrabster
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you are dealing with cracked silicone between glass panels and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can put it right, on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Other services in Scrabster
Windows and doors in Scrabster
Scrabster 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. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Thurso High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Thurso station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
Scrabster is about 2 miles north-west of Thurso, in Highland. Scrabster gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. We cover 253 towns and villages across Highland, from the larger towns to small villages.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and the area is left clean. For a place like Scrabster, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
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, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
FAQs for Scrabster
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Scrabster?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
I let a flat near Thurso station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Scrabster?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
That depends where the water is getting in. Sealant joints we can renew but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
