About our glazing silicone in Laurieston
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. Common call-outs are for stained, discoloured glazing silicone and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, across conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, where failing mastic is easy to miss. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Laurieston.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We do not install or replace glass.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
When to call us in Laurieston
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. We find the cause before we seal anything.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Rented homes near Glasgow Central station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Laurieston
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Laurieston get organised?
The owners of the flats normally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds do not. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Is Laurieston in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Laurieston is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No, our work is the silicone. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What glazing silicone looks like in Laurieston
Historic houses like Provand's Lordship (about 1.2 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Laurieston has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain.
Provand's Lordship, about 1.2 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Laurieston, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
