Wanlockhead Glazing Silicone
Glazing silicone across Wanlockhead and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Glazing silicone in Wanlockhead, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. If you are dealing with a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, we can put it right, on conservatory frames, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens alike.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Wanlockhead is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Advice
What glazing silicone looks like in Wanlockhead
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you live in an older home near Wanlockhead Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What happens if it’s left?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. Around Wanlockhead, 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.

What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- 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
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
