How we handle glazing silicone in Macmerry
We work across Macmerry on glazing joints for homes and businesses. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We’re often asked to deal with mouldy sealant around glass panels and silicone pulling away from the glass, on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Why act early in Macmerry
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing, and we’ll tell you if that is not the case. In a place like Macmerry, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs. For a place like Macmerry, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.

- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Common problems we fix in Macmerry
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Rented homes near Longniddry station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long the guarantee is
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part and we’ll find out which.
Windows and doors in Macmerry
Macmerry is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Historic houses such as Hamilton House, about 3 miles west, show how far back building around Macmerry goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ross High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

FAQs for Macmerry
Does the coastal weather in Macmerry affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Longniddry station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. 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 work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on all our work.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
