Rented homes near Croy station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Twechar
Across Twechar, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you are dealing with new silicone smeared over old sealant and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, we can help, on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for most jobs. Outdoor work around Twechar depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.

It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Is balustrade sealant something you do?

Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
