Glenlochar: your questions answered
Is Glenlochar in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Glenlochar is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Is glazing silicone in Glenlochar guaranteed?
All our work, in Glenlochar and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
We do not replace glass. We look after the sealant joints, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
It depends on the cause. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
About our glazing silicone in Glenlochar
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you have water escaping where a screen meets the wall and split or lifting silicone on glass, we can help, on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints alike.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway.

Landlord and commercial work in Glenlochar
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

What glazing silicone looks like in Glenlochar
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you look after a building such as Castle Douglas High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Do you need glazing silicone in Glenlochar?
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Around Glenlochar, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. 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.
Leave it or put it right?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone will not bond to old and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. In a place like Glenlochar, small leaks are easy to put off, 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.
