Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

How we handle glazing silicone in Ashton
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We are often asked to deal with shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, across conservatory frames, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Ashton
Some conservatory leaks aren’t sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That’s why we trace the leak first.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
If you look after a building such as Gourock High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a place like Ashton, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Ashton
Will you come out to Ashton?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Gourock station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
That is not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
What the job involves on each surface
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Windows and doors in Ashton
Ashton is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Ashton is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain.
Historic houses such as Ardgowan House, about 2.8 miles south-west, show how far back building around Ashton goes. Rented homes near Gourock station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
