How we handle glazing silicone in West Mains
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We are often asked to deal with cracked silicone between glass panels and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and shower screens.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
What glazing silicone looks like in West Mains
West Mains is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out. 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.
Rented homes near East Kilbride station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Managing a site like St Andrew's and St Bride's High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
When to call us in West Mains
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they do not move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
If you live in an older home near West Kirk, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
