About glazing silicone in the Scottish Borders

Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We’re often asked to deal with water getting into a conservatory at the joints and mouldy sealant around glass panels, on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and rooflights.

There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job.

We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.

What you’ll pay

Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Local landmarks in Galashiels

Around Galashiels, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Galashiels, Public House and Galashiels Academy and the streets around them.

The countryside around Galashiels includes Eildon Mid Hill.

Glazing silicone across the Scottish Borders: local notes

From Galashiels, Hawick and Peebles to its smaller places, the Scottish Borders has windows and doors of every age and material. The mastic around all of them ages, and it’s normally the first thing to let the weather in.

Homes in Scotland come with their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. The Scottish Borders is part of the area we cover across Scotland. Along the coast in the Scottish Borders, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, and that’s where sealant generally gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.

Galashiels: Rented homes near Galashiels station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Historic houses such as Peel House, about 3.8 miles west, show how far back building around Galashiels goes.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage several properties in or around the Scottish Borders, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Should I try it myself first?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Different surfaces, different methods

Rooflights

Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We check which it is.

Glass-to-frame joints

Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.

What happens if it’s left?

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.

The Scottish Borders questions

What information do you need?

Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Do you come to the Scottish Borders?

Yes. We cover the Scottish Borders, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How long does the job take?

Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.

Should I try DIY first?

It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Do I have to be there?

We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
