About our glazing silicone in Tongland
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are rooflight joints letting water in and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Tongland questions
Will you come out to Tongland?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Tongland any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
What we are called out for in Tongland
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
If you look after a building such as Kirkcudbright Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
Windows and doors in Tongland
Tongland is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Tongland is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out.
Homes close to Tongland Parish Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job

- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tongland
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Landlords and letting agents in Tongland can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Leave it or put it right?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. In a place like Tongland, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why Tongland customers choose us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Old sealant always removed completely
- We agree the colour with you first
- Full insurance on every job
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outside jobs in Tongland 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 isn’t affected.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- 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.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Glass that needs replacing
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
