- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Glazing silicone in Kilmartin, done properly
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. Common call-outs are for conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and failed joints on frameless glass, across glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
In and around a place like Kilmartin, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Kilmartin
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
If you live in an older home near Kilmartin Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Questions from Kilmartin
Will you come out to Kilmartin?
Yes. Kilmartin is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Kilmartin affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Windows and doors in Kilmartin
Kilmartin is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Around Kilmartin, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Use gentle products around the joints
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.

Why act early in Kilmartin
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Around Kilmartin, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
