Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
About our glazing silicone in Strome Ferry
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and new silicone smeared over old sealant, we can help.
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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Strome Ferry 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.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Windows and doors in Strome Ferry
Strome Ferry 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. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church Of Scotland, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Strome Ferry questions
Do you cover smaller places like Strome Ferry?
Yes, Strome Ferry is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does the coastal weather in Strome Ferry affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Strome Ferry and the rest of Highland.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Do you need glazing silicone in Strome Ferry?
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Look out for these signs:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
Letting a property close to Stromeferry station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

What else we do in Strome Ferry
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
