Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Tighnabruaich depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.

What else we do in Tighnabruaich
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- 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 if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Do you need glazing silicone in Tighnabruaich?
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
If you live in an older home near Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Are they insured?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
What happens if it’s left?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we will tell you if that’s not the case. In an older home around Tighnabruaich, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.

FAQs for Tighnabruaich
Can you do glazing silicone in Tighnabruaich?
Yes, Tighnabruaich is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Does the coastal weather in Tighnabruaich affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone does not stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Tighnabruaich homes and the weather
Tighnabruaich is close to 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. Tighnabruaich 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.
In and around Tighnabruaich, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
