Frames and glazing around Easthouses
Historic houses like Melville Castle (about 2.3 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Easthouses has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Historic houses such as Melville Castle, about 2.3 miles west, show how far back building around Easthouses goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. For landlords with property near Newtongrange station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

About our glazing silicone in Easthouses
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. If you have failed joints on frameless glass and split or lifting silicone on glass, we can help.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. In a place like Easthouses, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Common questions in Easthouses
Will you come out to Easthouses?
Yes, Easthouses is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Newtongrange station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. We don’t install or replace the glass.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you replace glass?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Landlord and commercial work in Easthouses
If you manage several properties in or around Easthouses, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
More services for Easthouses
Do you need glazing silicone in Easthouses?
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Look out for any of the following:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newbattle Community High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
