Glazing silicone in Peel, done properly
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you are dealing with sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, we can put it right, on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and shower screens alike.
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.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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 the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Glazing silicone in Peel: local notes
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 Peel House (about 0.1 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Peel has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Historic houses such as Peel House, about 0.1 miles south-west, show how far back building around Peel goes. Rented homes near Galashiels station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Peel questions
Is Peel within the area you cover?
Yes, Peel is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Galashiels station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
What guarantee do I get?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We do not replace glass. We reseal the joints around it, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
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 and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
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 you notice. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
