How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Uig
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. Typical jobs include stained, discoloured glazing silicone and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, across conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.
In and around a place like Uig, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Around Uig, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Glazing silicone in Uig: local notes
Uig is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of Scotland, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Uig is in Highland. We provide glazing silicone to householders, landlords and businesses in Uig and nearby. Uig is one of 253 places in Highland we cover for glazing silicone.
Here we cover the IV51 postcode area for glazing silicone. Whether your property is on Park Terrace, Rha Bank and Corbett Terrace or a nearby road, we can help. Close by, we work in Staffin (6 miles east), Clachamish (7 miles south), Kilmaluag (7 miles north-east), An t-Aodann Ban (9 miles south) and Kilmuir (13 miles south-west). Island and remote addresses take a little more planning, so tell us where you are when you ask for a quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Cracked or broken glass
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
When to call us in Uig
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
Managing a site like Uig Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who turns up on the day
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What else we do in Uig
Why act early in Uig
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. In a place like Uig, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Uig: your questions answered
Is Uig in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Uig is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Uig?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How much there is to do
- Any mould that needs treating
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
