Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Cardonald
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. We work on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, where failing mastic is easy to miss. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Cardonald.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What we’re called out for in Cardonald
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
If you look after a building such as Lourdes Secondary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee
- Who turns up on the day
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if the job turns out different
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.

What affects the quote in Cardonald
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Windows and doors in Cardonald
With historic houses such as Pollok House (about 2 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Cardonald as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For landlords with property near Hillington East station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. If you live in an older home near St Nicholas' Cardonald Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Cardonald, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Cardonald questions
Do you cover Cardonald for glazing silicone?
Yes, Cardonald is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Hillington East station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone does not stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully before cleaning and resealing.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
