- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Glazing silicone in Kirkton of Durris: local notes
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with 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.
In the older streets around St Comgall's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Common questions in Kirkton of Durris
Can you do glazing silicone in Kirkton of Durris?
Yes, Kirkton of Durris is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Kirkton of Durris?
All our work, in Kirkton of Durris and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We do not replace glass. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We find where the water gets in first before any sealing.
Leave it or put it right?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
