How we handle glazing silicone in Shotts
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In and around a place like Shotts, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Shotts
Is Shotts within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Shotts for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Shotts is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
What guarantee do I get?
All our work has a one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

Why it’s worth doing now in Shotts
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. In an older home around Shotts, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. 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. Outdoor work around Shotts depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
When to call us in Shotts
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
Around Shotts, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- How long to leave it before use

Windows and doors in Shotts
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Shotts station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
