About our glazing silicone in Shewalton
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. We are often asked to deal with water escaping where a screen meets the wall and failed joints on frameless glass, across shower screens, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Shewalton homes and the weather
Shewalton is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Schools such as Greenwood Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Girgenti House, about 4.6 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Shewalton.
Shewalton is about 2 miles south of Irvine, in North Ayrshire.

Do you need glazing silicone in Shewalton?
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
Look out for these signs:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Letting a property close to Irvine station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
What your quote should include

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. In an older home around Shewalton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Shewalton: your questions answered
I let a flat near Irvine station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Shewalton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
That’s not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed and needs replacing by a glazier.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We trace the leak first before any sealing.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
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.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Send us pictures and we will take a look.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Shewalton need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
