About our glazing silicone in Burnside
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. If you’re dealing with shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone will not bond to old, and the leak normally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In an older home around Burnside, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Burnside
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
If you let a flat or house near Burnside station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before

Glazing silicone in Burnside: local notes
With historic houses such as Provand's Lordship (about 3.7 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Burnside as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
If you live in an older home near Stonelaw Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Fernhill School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
