Questions from Whauphill
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Whauphill?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Whauphill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Whauphill.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We reseal the joints around it, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
How we handle glazing silicone in Whauphill
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you’re dealing with shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, we can put it right, on shower screens, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights alike.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Whauphill may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In an older home around Whauphill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Every job guaranteed for a year

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we’ll tell you which.
How we quote for glazing silicone
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
- The type of sealant required
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
Windows and doors in Whauphill
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Whauphill 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.
For jobs in and around Whauphill, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. In and around Whauphill, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
