Stor Glazing Silicone
Glazing silicone across Stor and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water running down inside the glass
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Stor 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.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
About our glazing silicone in Stor
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. Common call-outs are for failed joints on frameless glass and mouldy sealant around glass panels, on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and shower screens.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Stor depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Stor
Does the coastal weather in Stor affect outside sealant?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Stor?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead cannot grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Why act early in Stor
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone will not bond to old and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we’re called out for in Stor
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Look out for these signs:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Around Stor, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long to leave it before use
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Rooflights

Glazing silicone in Stor: local notes
Stor 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. Stor is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out.
For jobs in and around Stor, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Landlord and commercial work in Stor
Landlords and letting agents in Stor can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
