Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Faifley
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. If you have water tracking down the inner face of the glass and glass-to-glass joints that have split, we can help, on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames alike.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job in most cases. Somewhere like Faifley may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
Why deal with it now?
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. In a place like Faifley, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Faifley homes and the weather
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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you let a flat or house near Singer station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
When to call us in Faifley
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
Managing a site like Clydebank High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
