Glazing silicone in Haddington
Glass, frames and walls all move at different rates, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We’re often asked to deal with water running down inside the glass and cracked silicone between glass panels, on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass balustrade bases.
In a town like Haddington, stone-built older streets generally sit alongside harled houses and newer estates, so windows range from sash and case in older buildings to uPVC on newer homes. Each needs the right sealant against the right wall.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Haddington: your questions answered
I let a flat near Drem station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is glazing silicone in Haddington guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
What glazing silicone looks like in Haddington
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Drem station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Knox Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near West Parish Kirk and Tower, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Rotten or badly damaged frames

Why deal with it now?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. For landlords in Haddington, damp and leaks can fall under the Repairing Standard. Sorting failed joints early is easier than dealing with a tenant’s complaint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
