About our glazing silicone in Earlston
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. If you have water running down inside the glass and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, we can put it right.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a place like Earlston, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracked or broken glass
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
Do you need glazing silicone in Earlston?
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products do not bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
In the older streets around Earlston Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Windows and doors in Earlston
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Earlston High School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Tweedbank station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. Around Earlston, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why Earlston clients choose us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What affects the quote in Earlston
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
