Glazing silicone in Crossmyloof
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. If you’re dealing with glass-to-glass joints that have split and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. For a flat in Crossmyloof, access is the first thing to plan.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the quote in Crossmyloof
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Crossmyloof questions
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Crossmyloof get organised?
The owners of the flats usually 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. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Can you do glazing silicone in Crossmyloof?
Yes, Crossmyloof is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Crossmyloof and the rest of Glasgow, along with the rest of our area.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a tenement in Crossmyloof, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.

What we are called out for in Crossmyloof
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
Rented homes near Maxwell Park station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What else we do in Crossmyloof
Crossmyloof homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Pollok House (about 1.3 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Crossmyloof as well as newer homes. 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. Crossmyloof is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain.
If you look after a building such as Shawlands Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Pollok House, about 1.3 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Crossmyloof, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Can I do it myself?
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. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
