Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
About our glazing silicone in Kilncadzow
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. If you have cracked silicone between glass panels and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, we can help, whatever the surface.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Glazing silicone in Kilncadzow: local notes
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, 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 sound outside sealant is part of that.

Kilncadzow questions
I let a flat near Carluke station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Kilncadzow for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kilncadzow is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with straight away.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outdoor work around Kilncadzow depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

Signs you need glazing silicone in Kilncadzow
Sealant laid over old sealant doesn’t last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Schools such as Carluke High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
