- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
How we handle glazing silicone in Toryglen
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. If you have drips on the inside of a conservatory window and rooflight joints letting water in, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Toryglen, access is the first thing to plan.
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.

Surface by surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A roof that has moved or dropped
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Toryglen
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally 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.
What you get with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Over 20 years’ experience
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Old sealant always removed completely

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a city area like Toryglen, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Do you need glazing silicone in Toryglen?
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
Schools such as Holyrood Secondary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Glazing silicone in Toryglen: local notes
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Glasgow’s tenements are largely red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that will not mark it.
Rented homes near Kings Park station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Historic houses such as Provand's Lordship, about 2.5 miles north, show how far back building around Toryglen goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Questions from Toryglen
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Toryglen normally arranged?
The owners of the flats usually agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds don’t. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Do you work for landlords with property near Kings Park station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. We cut out the old sealant first.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
