Carrington Glazing Silicone
Our applicators work in Carrington on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.

About our glazing silicone in Carrington
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. Typical jobs include water getting into a conservatory at the joints and new silicone smeared over old sealant, on glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and rooflights.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Carrington depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Carrington: your questions answered
I let a flat near Gorebridge station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Carrington?
Yes, Carrington is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee to every job we do.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We find where the water gets in first before any sealing.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- A broken pane or roof panel
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Windows and doors in Carrington
With historic houses such as Melville Castle (about 4 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Carrington as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For an older house near a landmark such as Carrington Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Carrington is about 3 miles south of Bonnyrigg, in Midlothian. From the centre of Carrington to the outskirts, glazing silicone is available for homes and businesses alike.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs, and the area is left clean. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
What affects the quote in Carrington
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
Leave it or put it right?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.

What we’re called out for in Carrington
Silicone will not bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly the sealant may lift within a few years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
If you let a flat or house near Gorebridge station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
