Why it’s worth doing now in Glensburgh
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. In a place like Glensburgh, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
How we handle glazing silicone in Glensburgh
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We’re often asked to deal with glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and new silicone smeared over old sealant, on rooflights, shower screens and conservatory frames.
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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
Frames and glazing around Glensburgh
Glensburgh is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.

Do you need glazing silicone in Glensburgh?
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Schools such as Graeme High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Before you book anyone
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who turns up on the day
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs in most cases. For a place like Glensburgh, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.

- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
