Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How we handle glazing silicone in Sandford
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. We’re often asked to deal with new silicone smeared over old sealant and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, across rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Sandford depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sandford
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that is not the case. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What glazing silicone looks like in Sandford
Sandford is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Strathaven Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

When to call us in Sandford
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Water running down inside the glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
In and around Sandford, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Sandford?
All our work, in Sandford and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Cracked or broken glass
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
