What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
About our glazing silicone in Bowling
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you are dealing with split or lifting silicone on glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Bowling depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
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.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When to call us in Bowling
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Letting a property close to Bowling station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Windows and doors in Bowling
Bowling is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Park Mains High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Bowling questions
Do you cover smaller places like Bowling?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bowling station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No, our work is the silicone. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. In a place like Bowling, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What affects the quote in Bowling
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Bowling depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
