How we handle glazing silicone in Blochairn
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about silicone pulling away from the glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Natural stone around older windows needs a sealant that won’t mark or attack it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Blochairn
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Blochairn get organised?
The owners of the flats normally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds do not. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Do you work for landlords with property near Alexandra Parade station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Blochairn?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.

What else we do in Blochairn
Blochairn homes and the weather
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds.
Homes close to Our Lady of Good Counsel Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Alexandra Parade station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Schools such as St. Roch's Secondary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Why act early in Blochairn
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Blochairn, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.

Can I do it myself?

What sealant work can’t fix
