Whitecraigs questions
I let a flat near Whitecraigs station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Whitecraigs?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds don’t, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. The screen is resealed with anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Silicone does not stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.

Whitecraigs is in the west of Scotland, which is wetter than the east, which means glazing joints and frame seals has to cope with a lot of rain. Much of Glasgow is built from red and blond sandstone, and porous sandstone needs a sealant that will not mark it.
Managing a site like Belmont House School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Whitecraigs station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Condensation trapped between two panes
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
