Glazing joints in Tomatin need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.

- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Glazing silicone in Tomatin
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We’re often asked to deal with failed joints on frameless glass and silicone pulling away from the glass, on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and glass balustrade bases.
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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Glazing silicone in Tomatin: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Whether the job is in Tomatin itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Tomatin is about 13 miles south-east of Inverness, in Highland. Anywhere in IV13, we can carry out glazing silicone at your property. Tomatin is one of 253 places in Highland where we work for glazing silicone. Aberdeen is on our list too, about 71 miles from Tomatin.
All of IV13 is covered for glazing silicone, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Glazing silicone is available to properties on Old Mill Road, Ard Park and Juniper Drive. We also cover the places around Tomatin: Carrbridge (8 miles south-east), Farr (8 miles north-west), Duthil (9 miles east), Milton of Leys (10 miles north-west) and Boat of Garten (11 miles south-east). Further out, we also cover Inverness (13 miles north-west), Cradlehall (12 miles north-west), Merkinch (14 miles north-west), Hilton (12 miles north-west), Aviemore (11 miles south-east) and Crown (13 miles north-west). If you are somewhere remote, a little more planning is needed.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Tomatin
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Around Tomatin, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What product goes in the joint
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In an older home around Tomatin, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What you get with us

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. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outside jobs in Tomatin need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Your questions about glazing silicone in Tomatin
Is Tomatin within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Tomatin?
All our work, in Tomatin and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we will say so.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Tomatin?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
