About our glazing silicone in Cardenden
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. If you have black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, we can help.
In and around a place like Cardenden, 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, large or small.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cardenden
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. In an older home around Cardenden, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Windows and doors in Cardenden
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you look after a building such as Lochgelly High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Cardenden
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That’s why we trace the leak first.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
For landlords with property near Cardenden station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Cracked or broken glass
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
