About our glazing silicone in Gifford
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are water running down inside the glass and silicone pulling away from the glass.
In and around a place like Gifford, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Gifford
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
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.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why it’s worth doing now in Gifford
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. Outside jobs in Gifford need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Windows and doors in Gifford
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Around Gifford, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it. For an older house near a landmark such as Yester Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Questions from Gifford
Will you come out to Gifford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do glazing silicone in Gifford?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Gifford is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
That depends where the water is getting in. Sealant joints we can renew, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
What guarantee do I get?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to every job we do.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
