Glazing silicone in Shulishader, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. If you’re dealing with rooflight joints letting water in and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, we can help.
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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Glazing silicone in Shulishader: local notes
Shulishader 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. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Schools such as Aird Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Shulishader is about 7 miles east of Stornoway, in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Our applicators cover glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Shulishader and nearby, as part of our work across Na h-Eileanan Siar. Shulishader is one of 87 towns and villages in Na h-Eileanan Siar we cover.
Every address in HS2 is covered for glazing silicone, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Neighbouring places we cover for glazing silicone include Sulaisiadar (1 mile south-west), Aird (1 mile east), Garrabost (1 mile south-west), Portvoller (2 miles north-east) and Pabail Uarach (2 miles south). For island and remote addresses, a little more planning is needed, so let us know when you get in touch.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shulishader
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In an older home around Shulishader, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why Shulishader clients choose us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is normally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere like Shulishader 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.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
