How we handle glazing silicone in Camlachie
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you have water tracking down the inner face of the glass and leaks from the base of a shower screen, we can help.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Natural stone around older windows needs a sealant that won’t mark or attack it, which usually means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Camlachie questions
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Camlachie get organised?
It normally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds do not, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
I let a flat near Duke Street station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you work in Camlachie?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you replace glass?
That is not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Why deal with it now?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

When to call us in Camlachie
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Historic houses such as Provand's Lordship, about 1.1 miles north-west, show how far back building around Camlachie goes.

Windows and doors in Camlachie
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and sandstone is porous, so any sealant against it has to be one that won’t stain or attack it.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mungo's Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Duke Street station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

A little further out are Bridgeton Bus Garage (0.5 miles south-west) and The Forge Shopping Centre (0.5 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Cathkin Braes and Lenzie Moss.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
