Common problems we fix in Gilshochill
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That’s why we trace the leak first.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Schools such as John Paul Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Glazing silicone in Gilshochill
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about new silicone smeared over old sealant and failed joints on frameless glass.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. Whether you’re in a tenement flat or a house in Gilshochill, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight isn’t always the sealant. We check which it is.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Other services in Gilshochill
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Why deal with it now?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames generally just need resealing. In a tenement flat in Gilshochill, 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 generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we do, step by step

It generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a tenement in Gilshochill, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
