Shieldhill homes and the weather
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. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Graeme High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Falkirk High station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Shieldhill may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shieldhill
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. In an older home around Shieldhill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How we quote for glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The type of property
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
