About our glazing silicone in Ladywell
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we will tell you. Typical jobs include cracked silicone between glass panels and mouldy sealant around glass panels, across glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Ladywell is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Ladywell homes and the weather
Historic houses like Howden House (about 0.5 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Ladywell has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Letting a property close to Livingston North station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as Inveralmond Community High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Frames that have decayed or split
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. Around Ladywell, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Advice
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
How we quote for glazing silicone
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Ladywell questions
Do you cover smaller places like Ladywell?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Livingston North station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Leave it or put it right?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
