About our glazing silicone in Kelvingrove
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We’re often asked to deal with leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and water running down inside the glass, on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases.
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 Kelvingrove, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.

Why deal with it now?
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. In a tenement flat in Kelvingrove, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Kelvingrove homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you look after a building such as Glasgow Gaelic School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around Kelvingrove Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Exhibition Centre station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Kelvingrove, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.

What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Kelvingrove?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds do not.

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
What guarantee do I get?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on all our work.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We do not publish a price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
