Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:

- The type of property
- A few photos by email, if you can

Glazing silicone in Cummertrees
Across Cummertrees, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you’re dealing with cracked silicone between glass panels and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, we can put it right.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What glazing silicone looks like in Cummertrees
Cummertrees is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Homes close to Cummertrees Parish Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Cummertrees is about 12 miles south-east of Dumfries, in Dumfries and Galloway.

Do you need glazing silicone in Cummertrees?
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
For landlords with property near Annan station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Advice
Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Why deal with it now?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak usually returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Cummertrees questions
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Cummertrees any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Will you come out to Cummertrees?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
It does not last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. The old bead comes off without marking the glass, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A broken pane or roof panel
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
