Why it’s worth doing now in Burnfoot
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that’s not the case. 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.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

How we handle glazing silicone in Burnfoot
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you are dealing with split or lifting silicone on glass and mouldy sealant around glass panels, we can put it right, on shower screens, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints alike.
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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Burnfoot and everywhere else we cover.

Windows and doors in Burnfoot
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Managing a site like Hawick High School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outside jobs in Burnfoot need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Common questions in Burnfoot
Is there a guarantee on glazing silicone in Burnfoot?
All our work, in Burnfoot and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Burnfoot within the area you cover?
Yes. Burnfoot is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Burnfoot?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Burnfoot and the rest of the Scottish Borders.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
