Looking after it afterwards

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

  • Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
  • Use gentle products around the joints
  • Avoid scraping close to the bead
  • Act on drips or damp patches early

Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.

Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.

About our glazing silicone in Arniston

Across Arniston, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and glass balustrade bases, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and split or lifting silicone on glass.

In and around a place like Arniston, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.

You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

Windows and doors in Arniston

Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.

If you let a flat or house near Gorebridge station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Hunterfield Road Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Why act early in Arniston

Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.

There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.

What sealant work can’t fix

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:

  • A roof that has moved or dropped
  • Rotten or badly damaged frames
  • Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint

Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we seal

  • Glass balustrade bases
  • Conservatory frames
  • Glass-to-frame joints
  • Shower screens
  • Glass-to-glass joints
  • Rooflights

How we quote for glazing silicone

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • Whether the work is at height
  • The product the joint needs
  • The size of the job

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Helping us quote

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

  • A few photos by email, if you can
  • The rough size of the job
  • The address or postcode of the job
  • What’s wrong with the joints now

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

The process

We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Arniston may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.

  1. We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
  2. We cut away the failed silicone.
  3. We clean and prepare the joint.
  4. We apply and tool the new silicone.
  5. The joints are checked before we leave.

Getting ready for the visit
