- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Glazing silicone in Chapelhall, done properly
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you have mouldy sealant around glass panels and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can help, whatever the surface.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Landlord and commercial work in Chapelhall
For anyone letting property in or around Chapelhall, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In a place like Chapelhall, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What else we do in Chapelhall
What we’re called out for in Chapelhall
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
If you look after a building such as Brannock High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Frames and glazing around Chapelhall
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with 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.
Rented homes near Drumgelloch station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Homes close to St Aloysius Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

FAQs for Chapelhall
Do you cover smaller places like Chapelhall?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do glazing silicone in Chapelhall?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Chapelhall is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What guarantee do I get?
All our work has a one-year guarantee.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. We do not install or replace glass.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
