About our glazing silicone in Auldgirth
We work across Auldgirth on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. Common call-outs are for stained, discoloured glazing silicone and rooflight joints letting water in, across conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights.
In and around a place like Auldgirth, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. 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, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually 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 trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Auldgirth homes and the weather
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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In and around Auldgirth, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Whether the job is in Auldgirth itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
Auldgirth questions
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Auldgirth?
All our work, in Auldgirth and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Auldgirth for glazing silicone?
Yes, Auldgirth is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you replace glass?
That is not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed and needs replacing by a glazier.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It doesn’t last. The new bead can’t grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Landlord and commercial work in Auldgirth
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Leave it or put it right?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. Around Auldgirth, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
