Glazing silicone in Alves
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. Typical jobs include rooflight joints letting water in and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on shower screens, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases.
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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Questions from Alves
Is glazing silicone in Alves guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Alves?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
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.
Do you replace glass?
That’s not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight isn’t always the sealant. We find the cause first.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Alves depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Alves
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That is why we trace the leak first.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
Around Alves, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Alves homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Old Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
