Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Addiewell
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about water running down inside the glass and water getting into a conservatory at the joints.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When to call us in Addiewell
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
Howden House, about 4.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Addiewell, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Questions from Addiewell
Do you work for landlords with property near Addiewell station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Addiewell in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Addiewell is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What guarantee do I get?
All our work has a 12-month guarantee.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We trace the leak first before any sealing.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Addiewell and the rest of West Lothian.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
Why deal with it now?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- A choice of colours where the product allows

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Frames that have decayed or split
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases

Addiewell homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Historic houses like Howden House (about 4.8 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Addiewell 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 landlords with property near Addiewell station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
