DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
About our glazing silicone in West Darlochan
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you have sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and water running down inside the glass, we can put it right.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in West Darlochan and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

Your questions about glazing silicone in West Darlochan
Is West Darlochan within the area you cover?
Yes. West Darlochan is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does the coastal weather in West Darlochan affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, glazing sealant included.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.
What happens if it’s left?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. 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.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Windows and doors in West Darlochan
West Darlochan 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. 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 Kilchenzie Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
