Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Erskine
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we will tell you. Typical jobs include failed joints on frameless glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens.
In a town like Erskine, plenty of homes have harled (roughcast) walls, and the joint between a frame and rough harling needs a sealant that can grip and flex. A bead that sits on top of the harling rather than in the joint soon lets water in.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a Scottish town like Erskine, parking is generally straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. If you’re in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.
- 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.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.

Getting ready for the visit

Erskine questions
Is Erskine in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Erskine is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dalmuir station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Erskine homes and the weather
Erskine is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Erskine is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out.
Letting a property close to Dalmuir station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Managing a site like Park Mains High School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Near you in Erskine

What happens if it’s left?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak generally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Private landlords in a town like Erskine must keep homes wind and watertight under the Repairing Standard. Replacing failed sealant early is simpler than dealing with a complaint.
