How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for most jobs. For a place like Gairney Bank, longer drives are planned in advance. 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.
- 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.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

About our glazing silicone in Gairney Bank
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. If you’re dealing with leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and cracked silicone between glass panels, we can put it right, on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens alike.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is normally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Use gentle products around the joints
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
When to call us in Gairney Bank
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kinross High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Frames and glazing around Gairney Bank
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. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Lochgelly station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
