What happens if it’s left?
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing, and we’ll tell you if that’s not the case. In a place like Dillarburn, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Glazing silicone in Dillarburn, done properly
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and shower screens, and people most often call us about glass-to-glass joints that have split and failed sealant around rooflight glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Dillarburn depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Common questions in Dillarburn
Can you do glazing silicone in Dillarburn?
Yes, Dillarburn is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Lanark station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It doesn’t last. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you replace glass?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed and needs replacing by a glazier.

Dillarburn homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you let a flat or house near Lanark station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you live in an older home near Abbeygreen Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
When to call us in Dillarburn
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products do not bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
Schools such as Lesmahagow High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outdoor work around Dillarburn depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
