How we handle glazing silicone in Bents
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we will tell you. Common call-outs are for silicone pulling away from the glass and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, across rooflights, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints.
In and around a place like Bents, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Bents
Do you work for landlords with property near Addiewell station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Bents?
Yes. Bents is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- 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, before water gets in.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Glazing silicone in Bents: local notes
