Glazing silicone in Melrose, done properly
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. If you are dealing with sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and split or lifting silicone on glass, we can help.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. 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.

Glazing silicone in Melrose: local notes
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, 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 failed outside joints work against that.
In and around Melrose, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What affects the quote in Melrose
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now

Landlords, agents and businesses in Melrose
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including the tidy-up. For a place like Melrose, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
Getting a quote

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
Melrose: your questions answered
Is Melrose in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Melrose is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Melrose?
Yes, Melrose is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Where do you work from?

Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
What we’re called out for in Melrose
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Letting a property close to Tweedbank station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Comparing quotes
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
