What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Parking in city streets around Newbank can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Newbank
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. If you’re dealing with sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can help.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. For a flat in Newbank, access is the first thing to plan, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Newbank and across Glasgow.

Questions from Newbank
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Duke Street station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Newbank for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Newbank is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What does glazing silicone cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you replace glass?
We don’t replace glass. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- A broken pane or roof panel
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
What we are called out for in Newbank
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
Schools such as St Mungo's Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the cure time is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, and the leak normally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. For landlords in Newbank, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Glazing silicone in Newbank: local notes
The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Windows generally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say. Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and sandstone is porous, so any sealant against it has to be one that will not stain or attack it.
