How we handle glazing silicone in Port Dundas
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. If you have glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, we can put it right, on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints alike.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Natural stone around older windows needs a sealant that won’t mark or attack it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

In a city area like Port Dundas, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.

Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Use gentle products around the joints
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
Port Dundas homes and the weather
Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that will not mark it. With historic houses such as Tenement House (about 0.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Port Dundas as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Tenement House, about 0.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Port Dundas. Rented homes near Glasgow Queen Street station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as St Aloysius' College are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Why act early in Port Dundas
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Port Dundas, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
