About our glazing silicone in Camdean
Across Camdean, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. We are often asked to deal with leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, across glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work generally takes a few hours for most jobs. Outside jobs in Camdean need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any tricky access

Glazing silicone in Camdean: local notes
Camdean 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. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Pittencrieff House (about 2.3 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Camdean as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Rosyth Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Rosyth station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Camdean
I let a flat near Rosyth station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Camdean any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
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.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Do you work in Camdean?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Camdean.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Common problems we fix in Camdean
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water running down inside the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Rooflight joints letting water in
If you look after a building such as Dunfermline High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What insurance they hold
- What guarantee comes with the work
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Glass-to-glass joints
Silicone joins glass panels in many frameless designs. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
