Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Glazing silicone in Curriehill
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are silicone pulling away from the glass and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job. Somewhere like Curriehill may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Why act early in Curriehill
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Curriehill
Can you do glazing silicone in Curriehill?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Curriehill is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Curriehill?

What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We don’t replace glass. We look after the sealant joints, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Windows and doors in Curriehill
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Currie High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Curriehill station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

When to call us in Curriehill
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
For an older house near a landmark such as Currie Kirk, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
