When to call us in Ashgill
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Rooflight joints letting water in
If you let a flat or house near Larkhall station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

About our glazing silicone in Ashgill
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. We work on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and rooflights, and people most often call us about a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
In and around a place like Ashgill, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Ashgill need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints

Ashgill homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Cambusnethan House (about 1.9 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ashgill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For an older house near a landmark such as Dalserf Kirk, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as Larkhall Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Ashgill
Is Ashgill in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Ashgill is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Larkhall station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. In an older home around Ashgill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
