Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Dreghorn
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. If you have sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, we can help.
In and around a place like Dreghorn, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dreghorn and across North Ayrshire.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Around Dreghorn, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s 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.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:

Frames and glazing around Dreghorn
Dreghorn is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out.
For landlords with property near Irvine station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you look after a building such as Greenwood Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Historic houses such as Girgenti House, about 3.6 miles north, show how far back building around Dreghorn goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. We do not install or replace glass.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Frames that have decayed or split
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
Questions from Dreghorn
Do you work for landlords with property near Irvine station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Dreghorn any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
What guarantee do I get?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on all our work.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Can I do 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.
