The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Clockmill need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit

Glazing silicone in Clockmill
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are water escaping where a screen meets the wall and failed joints on frameless glass.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Clockmill is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Clockmill questions
Do you cover smaller places like Clockmill?
Yes, Clockmill is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Clockmill for glazing silicone?
Yes, Clockmill is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Why it’s worth doing now in Clockmill
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. Around Clockmill, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Why us?
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
Common problems we fix in Clockmill
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they do not move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Failed joints on frameless glass
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Berwickshire High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Glazing silicone in Clockmill: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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.
Homes close to Old Parish Church of St Cuthbert include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
