Glazing Silicone in Greenlaw
Glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Greenlaw. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
Glazing silicone in Greenlaw
Across Greenlaw, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method. Typical jobs include silicone pulling away from the glass and cracked silicone between glass panels, across glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and rooflights.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Greenlaw is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

What else we do in Greenlaw
Greenlaw: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Greenlaw?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Greenlaw within the area you cover?
Yes. Greenlaw is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Greenlaw.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. In an older home around Greenlaw, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What happens on the day
Once we are 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 Greenlaw 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. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Common problems we fix in Greenlaw
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water running down inside the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Around Greenlaw, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book

- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the colour is chosen

Glazing silicone in Greenlaw: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Greenlaw Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. A failed bead lets water in.
