Glazing silicone in Broughton
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and silicone pulling away from the glass.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Broughton is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
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.

What we are called out for in Broughton
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
In the older streets around Broughton Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
Why deal with it now?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. 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, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Broughton 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. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
