Questions from Greenfield
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Greenfield?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are generally repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
I let a flat near Shettleston station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long does glazing silicone take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we’ll tell you.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How we handle glazing silicone in Greenfield
We work across Greenfield on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. If you are dealing with stained, discoloured glazing silicone and new silicone smeared over old sealant, we can put it right, on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases alike.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, where failing mastic is easy to miss. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Greenfield.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint

When to call us in Greenfield
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
The most common problems we see are:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
Historic houses such as Provand's Lordship, about 2.7 miles west, show how far back building around Greenfield goes.

Windows and doors in Greenfield
Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, often through a property factor. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Rented homes near Shettleston station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as Eastbank Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Leave it or put it right?
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
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.
Why us?
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
