About our glazing silicone in Shandwick
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We are often asked to deal with glass-to-glass joints that have split and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, across glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and rooflights.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Shandwick
Is Shandwick within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Fearn station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
What does glazing silicone cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Shandwick, along with the rest of our area.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you replace glass?
No, our work is the silicone. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Shandwick homes and the weather
Shandwick is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. 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, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Rented homes near Fearn station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
Shandwick is about 12 miles north of Nairn, in Highland. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Shandwick can book us for glazing silicone, old or new, large or small. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee. Shandwick is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland we cover for glazing silicone. For nearby work, see our Aberdeen page.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Shandwick
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

What we’re called out for in Shandwick
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Around Shandwick, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which colour the sealant will be
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Cracked or broken glass
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. A full reseal sorts it.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
