When to call us in Tobermory
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
In the older streets around Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee
About our glazing silicone in Tobermory
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and new silicone smeared over old sealant.
In and around a place like Tobermory, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Tobermory and across Argyll and Bute.

How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most jobs. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tobermory
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why Tobermory customers choose us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Tidy, careful work
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Windows and doors in Tobermory
Tobermory is within about 1 mile of 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. 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.
If you look after a building such as Tobermory High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
