Belhaven Glazing Silicone
Professional glazing silicone in and around Belhaven, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How we handle glazing silicone in Belhaven
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that’s often where the water gets in. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about failed joints on frameless glass and water running down inside the glass.
In and around a place like Belhaven, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian.

Glazing silicone in Belhaven: local notes
Belhaven is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you live in an older home near Belhaven Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Letting a property close to Dunbar station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A broken pane or roof panel
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job for a typical job. Outdoor work around Belhaven depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.

FAQs for Belhaven
Will you come out to Belhaven?
Yes, Belhaven is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does the coastal weather in Belhaven affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
