Glazing & conservatory sealant in Craigend, Glasgow
Problem with your glazing joints in Craigend? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water running down inside the glass
How we handle glazing silicone in Craigend
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we will tell you. We work on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are cracked silicone between glass panels and stained, discoloured glazing silicone.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Natural stone around older windows needs a sealant that will not mark or attack it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Craigend and across Glasgow.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The amount of work
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most jobs in most cases. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Craigend, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Craigend
Do you work for landlords with property near Robroyston station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Craigend?
The owners of the flats normally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints

Glass-to-frame joints

Glazing silicone in Craigend: local notes
Historic houses like Provand's Lordship (about 3.1 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Craigend has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that won’t mark it.
Managing a site like St Andrew's Secondary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Historic houses such as Provand's Lordship, about 3.1 miles west, show how far back building around Craigend goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. If you let a flat or house near Robroyston station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
