Glazing silicone for Inkerman and the surrounding area: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Call for a quick quote.
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Glazing silicone in Inkerman, done properly
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are glass-to-glass joints that have split and failed sealant around rooflight glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Inkerman depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we are called out for in Inkerman
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water running down inside the glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
Schools such as Castlehead High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Why it’s worth doing now in Inkerman
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. In an older home around Inkerman, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
If you are 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.
Inkerman homes and the weather
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Inkerman is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain.
