Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
About our glazing silicone in Gogar
Across Gogar, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. Common call-outs are for leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and new silicone smeared over old sealant, across glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and conservatory frames.
In and around a place like Gogar, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
What glazing silicone looks like in Gogar
Gogar is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look.
Managing a site like Craigmount High School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Edinburgh Gateway station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is usually sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outdoor work around Gogar depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Related advice
Your questions about glazing silicone in Gogar
Does the coastal weather in Gogar affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you cover smaller places like Gogar?
Yes. Gogar is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
That is not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. The old bead comes off without marking the glass, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
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.
Why act early in Gogar
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Around Gogar, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Do you need glazing silicone in Gogar?
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Look out for these signs:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
In the older streets around Gogar Kirk, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

- Whether the sealant suits the joint
