- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Rotten or badly damaged frames

How we handle glazing silicone in Muirhouse
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and the jobs we see most are black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Muirhouse is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Around Muirhouse, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why Muirhouse clients choose us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Every job guaranteed for a year

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How we quote for glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Muirhouse homes and the weather
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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you look after a building such as Our Lady's High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Shieldmuir station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. In the older streets around St Patrick's R.C. Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Do you seal glass balustrade bases?

Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
A top-up rarely holds. The new bead cannot grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.

As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
