About our glazing silicone in Tarbet
Glass replacement isn’t something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. If you have rooflight joints letting water in and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What glazing silicone looks like in Tarbet
Tarbet is within about 2 miles 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. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain.
If you let a flat or house near Arrochar & Tarbet station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as Ballyhennan Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Common questions in Tarbet
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Tarbet?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you work for landlords with property near Arrochar & Tarbet station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
That is not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed and needs replacing by a glazier.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What guarantee do I get?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on all our work.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Around Tarbet, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Tarbet 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.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the 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.
