Glazing silicone in Kelso
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. Typical jobs include water getting into a conservatory at the joints and mouldy sealant around glass panels, on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.

Frames and glazing around Kelso
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. 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.
In and around Kelso, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Schools such as Kelso High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Kelso is about 32 miles south-east of Bonnyrigg, in the Scottish Borders. Across the TD5 area, we can carry out glazing silicone at your property. Kelso is one of 89 towns and villages in the Scottish Borders we cover for glazing silicone. For nearby work, see our Edinburgh page.
We cover every part of TD5 for glazing silicone. If you need glazing silicone at a property on Horse Market, Station Road and Forestfield or anywhere close by, our applicators can take on the job. Being close to the A698 and A699, Kelso is simple for us to get to for glazing silicone.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Frames that have decayed or split
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Kelso
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a place like Kelso, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Questions from Kelso
Do you cover smaller places like Kelso?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is glazing silicone in Kelso guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How long does glazing silicone take?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kelso
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. We don’t install or replace glass.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Landlords and letting agents in Kelso can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
