Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Eddleston
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. If you’re dealing with stained, discoloured glazing silicone and failed joints on frameless glass, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Eddleston depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Do you need glazing silicone in Eddleston?
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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
In the older streets around Eddleston Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we’ll find out which.
Why it’s worth doing now in Eddleston
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we will tell you if that is not the case. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
FAQs for Eddleston
Is Eddleston within the area you cover?
Yes, Eddleston is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Eddleston for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Eddleston is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
