How we handle glazing silicone in Rigside
Glass replacement isn’t something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. We work on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about cracked silicone between glass panels and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Rigside questions
Will you come out to Rigside?
Yes. Rigside is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Rigside?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Do you replace glass?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Rigside homes and the weather
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Whether the job is in Rigside itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Rigside and across South Lanarkshire. Several sites can be quoted together.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Somewhere like Rigside may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice

Other services in Rigside
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Quotes for glazing silicone in Rigside
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What we’re called out for in Rigside
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
The most common problems we see are:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
Around Rigside, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
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. In a place like Rigside, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
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 will know the price before we begin.
