Glazing silicone in Strathblane, done properly
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We are often asked to deal with stained, discoloured glazing silicone and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and shower screens.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Strathblane and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
What glazing silicone looks like in Strathblane
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. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain.
For landlords with property near Milngavie station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. If you live in an older home near Parish Church and Churchyard, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Leave it or put it right?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In a place like Strathblane, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Strathblane questions
Do you cover Strathblane for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Strathblane is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is Strathblane within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Strathblane
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
For anyone letting property in or around Strathblane, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Around Strathblane, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
