Glazing silicone across East Lothian: what to expect
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. Typical jobs include glass-to-glass joints that have split and failed sealant around rooflight glass, on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and rooflights.
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on the amount of work.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Pricing in East Lothian

Windows and doors across East Lothian
In East Lothian, glazing silicone work takes in houses, flats, conservatories and commercial glazing, in Musselburgh, Haddington and Dunbar and well beyond. Every outside joint is sealed dry and clean, so the forecast plays its part.
Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across East Lothian. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in East Lothian can see heavy use in busy months, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most, and the weather is hard on the outside too.
Musselburgh: Hamilton House, about 3.1 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Musselburgh, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Loretto School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What happens if it’s left?
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 will tell you.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Quotes for glazing silicone in East Lothian
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
Need a quote? Please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
