How we handle glazing silicone in Kelton Hill
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are split or lifting silicone on glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
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.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kelton Hill and across Dumfries and Galloway.

Kelton Hill: your questions answered
Is Kelton Hill in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Kelton Hill is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Kelton Hill?
All our work, in Kelton Hill and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you replace glass?
That is not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It does not last. The new bead cannot grip the old one so we take it all out and start clean.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
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. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
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
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
Windows and doors in Kelton Hill
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
In and around Kelton Hill, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job. Somewhere like Kelton Hill may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Common problems we fix in Kelton Hill
Sealant laid over old sealant doesn’t last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water running down inside the glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Homes close to Parish Church and Burial-Ground include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- When the joint can take water or movement
