How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Boghead
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. If you’re dealing with water running down inside the glass and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Boghead, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What affects the quote in Boghead
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Boghead
Do you cover smaller places like Boghead?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do glazing silicone in Boghead?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Boghead is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we will say so.
Glazing silicone in Boghead: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Lesmahagow High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Around Boghead, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Boghead is about 6 miles south of Larkhall, in South Lanarkshire. Our applicators cover glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Boghead and the surrounding area.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Condensation trapped between two panes
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Boghead may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.

Related advice
Why act early in Boghead
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We check which it is.
