Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
How we handle glazing silicone in Priesthill
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. If you are dealing with new silicone smeared over old sealant and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, we can help, on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens alike.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, and plenty still have them. In Priesthill, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Glazing silicone in Priesthill: local notes
With historic houses such as Pollok House (about 1.5 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Priesthill as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Nitshill station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as St. Paul's High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a city area like Priesthill, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- 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.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare

Advice
Questions from Priesthill
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Priesthill?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are usually repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds do not. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
I let a flat near Nitshill station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. 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.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
