How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
How we handle glazing silicone in Blairdardie
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are glass-to-glass joints that have split and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Blairdardie is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, which normally means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing for a typical job. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Blairdardie, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Blairdardie
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
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 get it looked at when you first see it.
Blairdardie questions
I let a flat near Drumchapel station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Blairdardie get organised?
It normally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds don’t.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there when you send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.

Glazing silicone in Blairdardie: local notes
With historic houses such as Tenement House (about 4.2 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Blairdardie as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Blairdardie 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.
In the older streets around St David's Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Knightswood Secondary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Drumchapel station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
