- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Braidwood
We work across Braidwood on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you have water getting into a conservatory at the joints and rooflight joints letting water in, we can help, whatever the surface.
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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Frames and glazing around Braidwood
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes 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.
Managing a site like Carluke High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
How we quote for glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Somewhere like Braidwood 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.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Common problems we fix in Braidwood
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That’s why we trace the leak first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
If you let a flat or house near Carluke station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long the guarantee is
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who turns up on the day

Common questions in Braidwood
Do you work for landlords with property near Carluke station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Braidwood within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we’ll say so.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. We don’t install or replace the glass.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
