Glazing silicone in Gullane
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you have silicone pulling away from the glass and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, we can help, whatever the surface.
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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Quotes for glazing silicone in Gullane
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:

- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Gullane
Do you cover smaller places like Gullane?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Gullane?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Gullane?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
Why deal with it now?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak generally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Why us?
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- We never seal over old sealant

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

Gullane homes and the weather
Gullane is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Rented homes near Drem station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you live in an older home near St Peter’s Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We do not install or replace glass.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Gullane need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
