- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Glazing silicone in Glencraig
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. If you’re dealing with failed joints on frameless glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Glencraig depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Why deal with it now?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Glencraig homes and the weather
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Lochgelly High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

FAQs for Glencraig
Will you come out to Glencraig?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Lochgelly station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
How long does glazing silicone take?
A typical job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our one-year guarantee on all our work.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a few hours for most jobs. Outside jobs in Glencraig need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Glass that needs replacing
- Condensation trapped between two panes
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Common problems we fix in Glencraig
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
If you let a flat or house near Lochgelly station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
