About our glazing silicone in Bothwell
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. If you have leaks from the base of a shower screen and rooflight joints letting water in, we can put it right, on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass balustrade bases alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Bothwell homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Bothwell 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.
Homes close to Bothwell Evangelical Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Schools such as Uddingston Grammar School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. Around Bothwell, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why Bothwell clients choose us
- Full insurance on every job
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Common problems we fix in Bothwell
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
If you let a flat or house near Blantyre station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.

Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
What guarantee do I get?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
