- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
How we handle glazing silicone in Gartness
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. If you’re dealing with cracked silicone between glass panels and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, we can put it right.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When to call us in Gartness
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
Rented homes near Drumgelloch station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Questions to ask before booking

Gartness questions
Is Gartness in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Gartness is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Gartness?
Yes, Gartness is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

What else we do in Gartness
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A roof that has moved or dropped
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job. Outdoor work around Gartness depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In an older home around Gartness, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

What glazing silicone looks like in Gartness
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Airdrie Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
