What we are called out for in Steinis
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Around Steinis, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long to leave it before use
- Is VAT in the price?
How we handle glazing silicone in Steinis
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. If you have new silicone smeared over old sealant and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can help, on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints alike.
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.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar.

Common questions in Steinis
Is Steinis in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Steinis is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Steinis?
Yes, Steinis is covered. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Steinis need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Glazing silicone in Steinis: local notes
Steinis 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. 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.
Whether the job is in Steinis itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Steinis is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Anywhere in HS2, our applicators can take on glazing silicone. Steinis is one of 87 towns and villages in Na h-Eileanan Siar where we work for glazing silicone.

- Conservatory frames

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
