Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Robroyston
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you’re dealing with black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and leaks from the base of a shower screen, we can help, whatever the surface.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, though many have since been replaced. In Robroyston, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing for a typical job. For a tenement in Robroyston, 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 find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.

How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
When to call us in Robroyston
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products do not bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
For landlords with property near Robroyston station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Common questions in Robroyston
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Robroyston get organised?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are normally 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 don’t. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Robroyston station?
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 price.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We don’t replace glass. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How long does glazing silicone take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Do you work in Robroyston?
Yes. We cover Robroyston and the rest of Glasgow, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Frames and glazing around Robroyston

Windows generally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say. Robroyston is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out.
Historic houses such as Provand's Lordship, about 3.1 miles south-west, show how far back building around Robroyston goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
