How the job changes by surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glazing silicone in Lochmaben
We work across Lochmaben on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about drips on the inside of a conservatory window and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Lochmaben depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Lochmaben as everywhere else we work.

What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A broken pane or roof panel

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. For a place like Lochmaben, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

When to call us in Lochmaben
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
Around Lochmaben, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long the guarantee is
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What glazing silicone looks like in Lochmaben
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, 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 failed outside joints work against that.
Letting a property close to Lockerbie station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

I let a flat near Lockerbie station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Lochmaben within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we’ll tell you.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
Landlord and commercial work in Lochmaben
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why act early in Lochmaben
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In an older home around Lochmaben, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
