Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Cartland
Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. If you have mouldy sealant around glass panels and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Cartland, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When to call us in Cartland
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
The most common problems we see are:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water running down inside the glass
Letting a property close to Lanark station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Cartland homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lanark Grammar School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is usually sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Quotes for glazing silicone in Cartland
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. For a place like Cartland, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why deal with it now?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
