Glazing silicone in Aberlady, done properly
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. Common call-outs are for failed joints on frameless glass and a quick top-up bead that didn’t last, across glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and rooflights.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Aberlady questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Longniddry station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Aberlady any different?
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.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
That is not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you work in Aberlady?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Aberlady.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Why deal with it now?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. In an older home around Aberlady, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

When something else is needed

If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
Windows and doors in Aberlady
Aberlady is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Gosford House (about 1 mile south-west) are a reminder that the area around Aberlady has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Aberlady Parish Church and Graveyard, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Longniddry station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

DIY versus a professional 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
