Borestone Glazing Silicone

Landlord and commercial work in Borestone
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Letting agents and landlords in Borestone can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
About our glazing silicone in Borestone
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We are often asked to deal with water getting into a conservatory at the joints and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Borestone and across Stirling.

Borestone: your questions answered
Will you come out to Borestone?
Yes. Borestone is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Borestone in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Borestone is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
All our work has a one-year guarantee.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on the amount of work. Outdoor work around Borestone depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Cracked or broken glass
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
What we’re called out for in Borestone
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Look out for these signs:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
In and around Borestone, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Glazing silicone in Borestone: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Stirling station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
