About our glazing silicone in West Side
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. Typical jobs include leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and water running down inside the glass, across rooflights, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases.
In and around a place like West Side, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Around West Side, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Other services in West Side
West Side homes and the weather
West Side is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out.
Around West Side, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Your questions about glazing silicone in West Side
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in West Side?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Will you come out to West Side?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
What we’re called out for in West Side
Some conservatory leaks are not sealant at all: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That is why we trace the leak first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
For jobs in and around West Side, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- Who turns up on the day
- What the cure time is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What happens if it’s left?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. In a place like West Side, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
