About our glazing silicone in Yorkhill
We work across Yorkhill on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. If you have drips on the inside of a conservatory window and silicone pulling away from the glass, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Yorkhill, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including the tidy-up. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Yorkhill, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Quotes for glazing silicone in Yorkhill
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Glazing silicone in Yorkhill: local notes
The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Church Street Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Partick station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Yorkhill
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Yorkhill?
The owners of the flats usually agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds don’t. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
I let a flat near Partick station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Many leaks we see come from exactly that. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Why it’s worth doing now in Yorkhill
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
