What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Glazing silicone in Dalmonach
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. Typical jobs include new silicone smeared over old sealant and water running down inside the glass, on shower screens, rooflights and conservatory frames.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What glazing silicone looks like in Dalmonach
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Vale of Leven Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Questions from Dalmonach
Is Dalmonach within the area you cover?
Yes. Dalmonach is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Dalmonach for glazing silicone?
Yes, Dalmonach is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Silicone does not stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. 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.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in Dalmonach need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work

Signs you need glazing silicone in Dalmonach
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Letting a property close to Alexandria station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
