- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Water running down inside the glass
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most jobs. Outside jobs in Glencarse need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- 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.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Glazing silicone in Glencarse
Glass replacement is not something we do, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. Common call-outs are for shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, across glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights.
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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common problems we fix in Glencarse
Sealant laid over old sealant doesn’t last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- What guarantee comes with the work
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
How we quote for glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
What glazing silicone looks like in Glencarse
Glencarse is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In and around Glencarse, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Leave it or put it right?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone won’t bond to old and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
