How we handle glazing silicone in Lauder
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. If you are dealing with failed joints on frameless glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, we can put it right, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lauder
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you remove the old sealant?

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a place like Lauder, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Windows and doors in Lauder
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Rented homes near Stow station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Lauder
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
Homes close to St Mary's Parish Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
