Glazing Silicone in Mount Florida
Professional glazing silicone in and around Mount Florida, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Mount Florida, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Glazing silicone in Mount Florida
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. We are often asked to deal with water tracking down the inner face of the glass and failed sealant around rooflight glass, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, and plenty still have them. Whether you’re in a tenement flat or a house in Mount Florida, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we’re called out for in Mount Florida
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water running down inside the glass
Letting a property close to Mount Florida station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Glass that needs replacing
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
Windows and doors in Mount Florida
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. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain.
Pollok House, about 2.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Mount Florida. Managing a site like Holyrood Secondary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Mount Florida: your questions answered
Is Mount Florida in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Mount Florida is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Mount Florida station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mount Florida
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Mount Florida and across Glasgow. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
Why act early in Mount Florida
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we will tell you if that is not the case. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Mount Florida, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
