About our glazing silicone in Finnieston
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. If you’re dealing with mouldy sealant around glass panels and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, we can help, on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens alike.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, and plenty still have them. In Finnieston, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Finnieston as everywhere else we work.

- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away

- What guarantee comes with the work
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Windows and doors in Finnieston
Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that will not mark it. With historic houses such as Tenement House (about 0.9 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Finnieston as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Sandyford Henderson Memorial Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Glasgow Gaelic School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Why act early in Finnieston
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. In a tenement flat in Finnieston, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.

Finnieston questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Exhibition Centre station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Finnieston normally arranged?
The owners of the flats normally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Bigger jobs take longer.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job from start to finish. Parking in city streets around Finnieston can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with straight away.
Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
