How we quote for glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How we handle glazing silicone in South Alloa
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you have new silicone smeared over old sealant and failed joints on frameless glass, we can put it right, on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints alike.
In and around a place like South Alloa, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small, before water gets in.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we’re called out for in South Alloa
New silicone over old silicone won’t bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Managing a site like Alloa Academy? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- What product goes in the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Windows and doors in South Alloa
South Alloa is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Letting a property close to Alloa station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. For an older house near a landmark such as St. Mungo's Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including the tidy-up. Outdoor work around South Alloa depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Why deal with it now?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Fully insured
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

South Alloa questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Alloa station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in South Alloa affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. A misted unit has failed inside, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Silicone does not stick to silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
