How we handle glazing silicone in Ednam
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about failed sealant around rooflight glass and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
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.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

How we quote for glazing silicone
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
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. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
To get a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Ednam
Is glazing silicone in Ednam guaranteed?
All our work, in Ednam and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Ednam?
Yes, Ednam is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint with a suitable product.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We find where the water gets in first before any sealing.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Ednam
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould gets into it and the edges begin to peel.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
Managing a site like Kelso High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Windows and doors in Ednam
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Homes close to Ednam Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We do not install or replace glass.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Use gentle products around the joints
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Why act early in Ednam
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. In a place like Ednam, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outside jobs in Ednam need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
