- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Use gentle products around the joints
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
Glazing silicone in Menzieshill
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you have leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and leaks from the base of a shower screen, we can help, whatever the surface.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, and plenty still have them. Whether you are in a tenement flat or a house in Menzieshill, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for most jobs. For a tenement in Menzieshill, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- 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.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Menzieshill homes and the weather
Menzieshill is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Invergowrie station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Managing a site like Menzieshill High School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Questions from Menzieshill
I let a flat near Invergowrie station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Menzieshill?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds do not, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Do you work in Menzieshill?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Menzieshill.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can I do it myself?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
