Frames and glazing around Athelstaneford
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Drem station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

How we handle glazing silicone in Athelstaneford
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints and that is often where the water gets in. We’re often asked to deal with leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Athelstaneford and across East Lothian.

Athelstaneford: your questions answered
Will you come out to Athelstaneford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Athelstaneford for glazing silicone?
Yes, Athelstaneford is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Surface by surface
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Glass that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Athelstaneford
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products don’t bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
If you live in an older home near Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Before booking anyone

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
