What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs from start to finish. Outdoor work around Abbeyview depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Glazing silicone in Abbeyview
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. If you have rooflight joints letting water in and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, we can put it right.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Frames and glazing around Abbeyview
Abbeyview is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Dunfermline Queen Margaret station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Managing a site like Dunfermline High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

Your questions about glazing silicone in Abbeyview
Do you work for landlords with property near Dunfermline Queen Margaret station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Abbeyview?
Yes, Abbeyview is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
We do not replace glass. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Why act early in Abbeyview
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. In an older home around Abbeyview, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

- We agree the colour with you first
- More than 20 years in sealant work

- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
When to call us in Abbeyview
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip to the glass and frame.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
In the older streets around St Leonard's Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
