Glazing silicone in Pollok, done properly
We don’t replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are water tracking down the inner face of the glass and stained, discoloured glazing silicone.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number of rooms or windows
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing from start to finish. For a tenement in Pollok, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak normally returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a tenement flat in Pollok, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Over 20 years’ experience
- We leave the area clean and tidy

Pollok questions
I let a flat near Priesthill & Darnley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Pollok?
The owners of the flats generally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds don’t. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
What guarantee do I get?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
When to call us in Pollok
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
Schools such as St. Paul's High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Are they insured?
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?
Pollok homes and the weather
Much of Glasgow is built from red and blond sandstone, and sandstone is porous, so any sealant against it has to be one that will not stain or attack it. 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. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is normally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
