Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Gartmore
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. If you’re dealing with water escaping where a screen meets the wall and new silicone smeared over old sealant, we can help.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Stirling.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
When to call us in Gartmore
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.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Homes close to Gartmore Parish 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.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

- Glass that needs replacing
- Condensation trapped between two panes

Gartmore questions
Can you do glazing silicone in Gartmore?
Yes, Gartmore is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is glazing silicone in Gartmore guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Gartmore and the rest of Stirling.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on the amount of work. Around Gartmore, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- 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.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
