Glazing Silicone in Brocketsbrae
Glazing silicone across Brocketsbrae and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass

- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
How we handle glazing silicone in Brocketsbrae
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, 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. Common call-outs are for water escaping where a screen meets the wall and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints.
In and around a place like Brocketsbrae, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

Glazing silicone in Brocketsbrae: 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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Homes close to Lesmahagow Old Parish Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you let a flat or house near Lanark station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Brocketsbrae need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Brocketsbrae: your questions answered
Is Brocketsbrae within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Lanark station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
What we are called out for in Brocketsbrae
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they do not move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Schools such as Lesmahagow High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brocketsbrae
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In an older home around Brocketsbrae, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
