About our glazing silicone in Burntisland
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. If you have conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Burntisland depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Frames and glazing around Burntisland
Burntisland is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Kirkton, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Burntisland station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Burntisland
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Burntisland?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Will you come out to Burntisland?
Yes. Burntisland 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.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee to every job we do.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
It depends on the cause. Sealant joints we can renew, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing and we leave things clean and tidy. Outside jobs in Burntisland need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. In an older home around Burntisland, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Glass that needs replacing
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
