What happens if it’s left?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. In a place like Auldcathie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Glazing silicone in Auldcathie
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We’re often asked to deal with conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and water running down inside the glass, across glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and conservatory frames.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Common problems we fix in Auldcathie
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products don’t bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Letting a property close to Uphall station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Frames and glazing around Auldcathie
Auldcathie is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Auldcathie Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Winchburgh Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Auldcathie
Will you come out to Auldcathie?
Yes. Auldcathie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Uphall station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
We can. We remove the old silicone carefully before cleaning and resealing.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- 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.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
