About our glazing silicone in Shawlands
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. If you’re dealing with glass-to-glass joints that have split and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, we can put it right, on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and conservatory frames alike.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, and plenty still have them. Whether you’re in a tenement flat or a house in Shawlands, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Glazing silicone in Shawlands: local notes
Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, often through a property factor. Windows normally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say. Shawlands 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.
If you look after a building such as Shawlands Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Shawlands station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
Shawlands is about 2 miles south of Glasgow, in Glasgow. Whether you’re in the middle of Shawlands or further out, we cover glazing silicone for every kind of property. Across Glasgow, we cover 183 places, Shawlands among them.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it and reseal with glazing silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Shawlands, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
Leave it or put it right?
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 choose a glazing silicone instead. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The amount of work
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
When to call us in Shawlands
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
The most common problems we see are:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Homes close to Shawlands Trinity Church and Halls include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
