Glazing & conservatory sealant in Cranhill, Glasgow
We cover Cranhill for glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Failed joints on frameless glass
When to call us in Cranhill
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Andrew's Secondary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

About our glazing silicone in Cranhill
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about new silicone smeared over old sealant and water running down inside the glass.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, which normally means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cranhill as everywhere else we work.

How we quote for glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
To get a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
FAQs for Cranhill
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Cranhill?
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. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds don’t. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Do you cover Cranhill for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Cranhill is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We trace the leak first before any sealing.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins.

For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.

Related advice
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
Cranhill homes and the weather
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. 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. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds.
If you let a flat or house near Carntyne station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
