Glazing silicone in East Linton, done properly
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you have glass-to-glass joints that have split and water getting into a conservatory at the joints, we can put it right.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in East Linton and everywhere else we cover.

What glazing silicone looks like in East Linton
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.
If you live in an older home near St Andrew's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around East Linton depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Cracked or broken glass
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We don’t install or replace glass.
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in East Linton can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
When to call us in East Linton
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
Letting a property close to East Linton station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
- Which colour the sealant will be
East Linton: your questions answered
Is East Linton in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and East Linton is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near East Linton station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. We renew the sealant. Glass and sealed units need a glazier.
What guarantee do I get?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to every job we do.
