Burnbank homes and the weather
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out.
Schools such as John Ogilvie High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Burnbank Parish Church And Hall, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

About our glazing silicone in Burnbank
Across Burnbank, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method. Typical jobs include rooflight joints letting water in and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, across glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints.
In and around a place like Burnbank, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Outdoor work around Burnbank depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Burnbank

- Conservatory frames

Signs you need glazing silicone in Burnbank
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
For landlords with property near Hamilton West station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now

How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.

Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
