About our glazing silicone in Gowkthrapple
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. We are often asked to deal with silicone pulling away from the glass and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, across glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Windows and doors in Gowkthrapple
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. With historic houses such as Cambusnethan House (about 0.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Gowkthrapple as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Thornlie Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Managing a site like St Aidan's High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Condensation trapped between two panes
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Gowkthrapple
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. Around Gowkthrapple, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- We never seal over old sealant
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last

Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It does not last. The new bead cannot grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
