About our glazing silicone in Walston
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you have water tracking down the inner face of the glass and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can help, whatever the surface.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

When to call us in Walston
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out leaving a path for water.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
In and around Walston, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the colour is chosen
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for most jobs. Outdoor work around Walston 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.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Common questions in Walston
Can you do glazing silicone in Walston?
Yes, Walston is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Walston?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Condensation trapped between two panes
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Around Walston, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
Windows and doors in Walston
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you live in an older home near Walston Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
