About our glazing silicone in Dunscore
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We work on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases, and common reasons people get in touch are rooflight joints letting water in and silicone pulling away from the glass.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Common questions in Dunscore
Will you come out to Dunscore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Dunscore?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
What we are called out for in Dunscore
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature, and they do not move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
For an older house near a landmark such as Dunscore Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How hidden problems are handled
Dunscore homes and the weather
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.

- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.

- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
