About our glazing silicone in Dogslacks
Across Dogslacks, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. Common call-outs are for drips on the inside of a conservatory window and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Dogslacks depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Failed flashing around a conservatory

Why it’s worth doing now in Dogslacks
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. In a place like Dogslacks, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Arbo and Everbuild products

Questions from Dogslacks
Do you cover Dogslacks for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Dogslacks is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Dogslacks?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
How long does glazing silicone take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Common problems we fix in Dogslacks
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Homes close to Middlebie Parish Church And Churchyard include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for most jobs. Outside jobs in Dogslacks need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Frames and glazing around Dogslacks
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Around Dogslacks, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
