Glazing silicone in Taobh Lochaidh
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you’re dealing with mouldy sealant around glass panels and failed sealant around rooflight glass, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in

When to call us in Taobh Lochaidh
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products don’t bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water running down inside the glass
Schools such as Lochaber High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Comparing quotes
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they’re fully insured
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
What affects the quote in Taobh Lochaidh
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Why it’s worth doing now in Taobh Lochaidh
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. In a place like Taobh Lochaidh, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Full insurance on every job
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

For anyone letting property in or around Taobh Lochaidh, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Windows and doors in Taobh Lochaidh
Taobh Lochaidh is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Taobh Lochaidh 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.
Rented homes near Banavie station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Common questions in Taobh Lochaidh
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Taobh Lochaidh?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.

Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
How long does glazing silicone take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will tell you when we quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
