What affects the quote in Musselburgh
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
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.

How we handle glazing silicone in Musselburgh
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. If you’re dealing with leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a town like Musselburgh, plenty of homes have harled (roughcast) walls, and the joint between a frame and rough harling needs a sealant that can grip and flex. A thin bead that hasn’t been worked into the surface soon lets water behind it.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Musselburgh
I let a flat near Musselburgh station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Musselburgh in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Musselburgh is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
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.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
That’s not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What sealant do you use?
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 seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.

When to call us in Musselburgh
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they do not move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Schools such as Loretto School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the joint can take water or movement
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. A visit in Musselburgh needs three things planned: access, parking and where the work is. Outdoor jobs need a dry day, so they can move if the weather turns.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Musselburgh homes and the weather
Musselburgh is within about 1 mile of 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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Musselburgh station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Historic houses such as Hamilton House, about 3.1 miles east, show how far back building around Musselburgh goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Why it’s worth doing now in Musselburgh
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. In flats with a shared stair in Musselburgh, a leak from a failed seal can affect the flat below too, and that’s much harder to put right.
