About our glazing silicone in North Kelvinside
Across North Kelvinside, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We work on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about stained, discoloured glazing silicone and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
North Kelvinside is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, which generally means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Glazing silicone in North Kelvinside: local notes
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, often through a property factor. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds.
Historic houses such as Tenement House, about 0.9 miles south-east, show how far back building around North Kelvinside goes. Schools such as College of Piping are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Possilpark & Parkhouse station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Other services in North Kelvinside
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for most jobs, depending on how much there is to do. Parking in city streets around North Kelvinside 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 trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- 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 check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions

North Kelvinside: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Possilpark & Parkhouse station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in North Kelvinside?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds don’t, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, glazing sealant included.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in North Kelvinside, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
