Kelvindale: your questions answered
Do you cover Kelvindale for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kelvindale is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Kelvindale station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. We renew the sealant. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Glazing silicone in Kelvindale
We don’t replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and water running down inside the glass.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, though many have since been replaced. Whether you are in a tenement flat or a house in Kelvindale, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs from start to finish. Parking in city streets around Kelvindale can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Glazing silicone in Kelvindale: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Historic houses like Tenement House (about 2.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Kelvindale has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Kelvindale station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as St John's Renfield Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like Cleveden Secondary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
