How we handle glazing silicone in Newbigging
Across Newbigging, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We work on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Newbigging depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Cracked or broken glass
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Newbigging
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Look over the glazing joints every year or so. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with straight away.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job. Outdoor work around Newbigging depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that is often finished with sealant. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What else we do in Newbigging
Leave it or put it right?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, and the leak generally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. In a place like Newbigging, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

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.
