Glazing silicone in Blairdrummond, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you have water escaping where a screen meets the wall and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can help, on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights alike.
In and around a place like Blairdrummond, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
When to call us in Blairdrummond
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
For an older house near a landmark such as St Lolan's Church And Burial Ground, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Other services in Blairdrummond
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
