Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Croftfoot
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. If you have cracked silicone between glass panels and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, where failing mastic is easy to miss. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Croftfoot.

Why deal with it now?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. Private landlords in Croftfoot must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we are called out for in Croftfoot
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Managing a site like St Margaret Mary's Secondary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We do not install or replace glass.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Croftfoot homes and the weather
Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and sandstone is porous, so any sealant against it has to be one that won’t stain or attack it. 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.
Rented homes near Croftfoot station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Provand's Lordship, about 3.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Croftfoot.

Advice
Questions from Croftfoot
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Croftfoot usually arranged?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are usually repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. 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.
I let a flat near Croftfoot station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long does glazing silicone take?
A typical job takes a few hours for most jobs, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Croftfoot?
