Our applicators work in Slackbuie on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Glazing silicone in Slackbuie
Across Slackbuie, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. Common call-outs are for water running down inside the glass and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, across glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens.
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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Slackbuie
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases

What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Windows and doors in Slackbuie
Slackbuie is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Rented homes near Inverness station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Around Slackbuie, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
