Glazing silicone in Kelvinhaugh
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. We work on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are stained, discoloured glazing silicone and water running down inside the glass.
Kelvinhaugh is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Natural stone around older windows needs a sealant that will not mark or attack it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a city area like Kelvinhaugh, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you are 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.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Your questions about glazing silicone in Kelvinhaugh
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Exhibition Centre station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Kelvinhaugh for glazing silicone?

What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Windows and doors in Kelvinhaugh
Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that won’t mark it. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Sandyford Henderson Memorial Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Church Street Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Surface by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We do not install or replace glass.
What we are called out for in Kelvinhaugh
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Failed joints on frameless glass
For landlords with property near Exhibition Centre station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
