- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- 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.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
Glazing silicone in Loanhead, done properly
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. Common call-outs are for water getting into a conservatory at the joints and rooflight joints letting water in, across glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and rooflights.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Loanhead depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why deal with it now?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber, so it pays to deal with it early. In a place like Loanhead, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

When to call us in Loanhead
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That’s why we trace the leak first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Failed joints on frameless glass
Melville Castle, about 2.2 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Loanhead, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- What insurance they hold
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Loanhead need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Glazing silicone in Loanhead: local notes
With historic houses such as Melville Castle (about 2.2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Loanhead as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional 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 Eskbank station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Schools such as Lasswade High School Centre are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
