Frames and glazing around Garnethill
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Garnethill 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.
In the older streets around St Aloysius Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Charing Cross (Glasgow) station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Garnethill
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. If you’re dealing with water tracking down the inner face of the glass and rooflight joints letting water in, we can put it right, on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Garnethill is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, which generally means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Garnethill
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. In a tenement flat in Garnethill, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
Can I do it myself?
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.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.
Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Garnethill
Landlords and agents in Garnethill can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Common problems we fix in Garnethill
Sealant laid over old sealant doesn’t last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water running down inside the glass
Schools such as St Aloysius' College are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
