About our glazing silicone in Oakbank
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame before the new bead goes in. We work on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about mouldy sealant around glass panels and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What else we do in Oakbank
Surface by surface
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
When to call us in Oakbank
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products don’t bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
For landlords with property near Livingston South station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What glazing silicone looks like in Oakbank
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Historic houses like Howden House (about 1.8 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Oakbank has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Inveralmond Community High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Mid Calder Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Which silicone is used for glass joints?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Oakbank?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Why act early in Oakbank
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. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
