Glazing silicone in Grantshouse, done properly
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 glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone pulling away from the glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What glazing silicone looks like in Grantshouse
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Rented homes near Reston station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. In the older streets around Grantshouse Church (Church Of Scotland), replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most jobs, and the area is left clean. Outdoor work around Grantshouse depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.

Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. A fresh bead seals them again.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Common questions in Grantshouse
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Reston station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you come out to Grantshouse?
Yes. Grantshouse is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first, so you know what you are paying for.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
All our work has a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Why act early in Grantshouse
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, and the leak usually returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In a place like Grantshouse, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What you get with us

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
