Glazing Silicone in Tingwall
Glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens for homes and businesses in Tingwall and across the Orkney Islands. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Tingwall
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you have conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can help.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Tingwall
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Failed joints on frameless glass
Around Tingwall, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Tingwall need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Windows and doors in Tingwall
Tingwall is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Whether the job is in Tingwall itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Tingwall is about 8 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Tingwall can book us for glazing silicone, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. 51 places in the Orkney Islands are on our list, large and small.
We cover every part of the KW17 postcode area for glazing silicone and the streets around it. We also cover the places around Tingwall: Gorseness (2 miles south-east), Isbister (3 miles south), Evie (3 miles north-west), Norseman (3 miles south-west) and Settiscarth (3 miles south-west).

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Cracked or broken glass
- 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)
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Tingwall
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. In a place like Tingwall, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why book with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Full insurance on every job
- You choose the colour before work begins

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
