Glazing Silicone in Pettinain
Problem with your glazing joints in Pettinain? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Glazing silicone in Pettinain
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Typical jobs include silicone pulling away from the glass and leaks from the base of a shower screen, across glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and glass-to-glass joints.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Pettinain: your questions answered
Will you come out to Pettinain?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Pettinain for glazing silicone?

Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across South Lanarkshire.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Pettinain homes and the weather
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you live in an older home near Pettinain Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:

When to call us in Pettinain
Heat and cold make glass and frames move at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
If you let a flat or house near Carstairs station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Which colour the sealant will be
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Pettinain depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
