Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Colston
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you have new silicone smeared over old sealant and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, we can help, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights alike.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Colston.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Colston and across Glasgow.

What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Colston, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Frames and glazing around Colston
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Windows generally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bishopbriggs Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Colston Wellpark Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Common problems we fix in Colston
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
For landlords with property near Bishopbriggs station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job for a typical job. In a city area like Colston, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.

Common questions in Colston
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Colston usually arranged?
It usually goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds don’t, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.

Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Colston is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why not top up the existing silicone?

Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Colston.
