Signs you need glazing silicone in Edgehead
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
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.

- Are they insured?

How we handle glazing silicone in Edgehead
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights, and the jobs we see most are split or lifting silicone on glass and water escaping where a screen meets the wall.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in Edgehead
Do you work for landlords with property near Newtongrange station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Edgehead?
Yes, Edgehead 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.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. The old bead comes off without marking the glass, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints

Edgehead homes and the weather

With historic houses such as Melville Castle (about 4.1 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Edgehead as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Cranston Parish Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Letting a property close to Newtongrange station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases

Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
