About our glazing silicone in Vidlin
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you are dealing with water escaping where a screen meets the wall and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can help.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Vidlin is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Vidlin and everywhere else we cover.

What we’re called out for in Vidlin
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Failed joints on frameless glass
In and around Vidlin, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
For a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. In an older home around Vidlin, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Windows and doors in Vidlin
Vidlin 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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Whether the job is in Vidlin itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Vidlin is in the Shetland Islands. Vidlin gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Vidlin is one of 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands we cover for glazing silicone.

What else we do in Vidlin
Questions from Vidlin
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Vidlin?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Can you do glazing silicone in Vidlin?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Vidlin is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
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 you just put new silicone over the old?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
