About our glazing silicone in Widewall
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. If you have conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can put it right, on shower screens, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with straight away.
Quotes for glazing silicone in Widewall
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
Glazing silicone in Widewall: local notes
Widewall is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
Around Widewall, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it. For jobs in and around Widewall, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Widewall is about 12 miles south of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Widewall gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our the Orkney Islands coverage runs to 51 places, Widewall among them.

Will you come out to Widewall?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Widewall in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Widewall is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We will tell you when we quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We don’t install or replace the glass.

If you manage several properties in or around Widewall, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.

Why act early in Widewall
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
