Glazing silicone in Lightburn
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you’re dealing with drips on the inside of a conservatory window and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, we can put it right.
Lightburn 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 won’t mark or attack it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Windows and doors in Lightburn
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. With historic houses such as Provand's Lordship (about 2.6 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lightburn as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as St Andrew's Secondary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Carntyne station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Common problems we fix in Lightburn
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Provand's Lordship, about 2.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Lightburn, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
- What the cure time is
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a tenement in Lightburn, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the quote in Lightburn
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass balustrade bases

Lightburn: your questions answered
Can you do glazing silicone in Lightburn?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Lightburn is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Lightburn normally arranged?
It usually goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds don’t, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
