Why deal with it now?

A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

About our glazing silicone in North Berwick

Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. If you have glass-to-glass joints that have split and water running down inside the glass, we can help, on rooflights, conservatory frames and shower screens alike.

Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.

A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What the job involves on each surface

Glass balustrade bases

Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.

Conservatory frames

Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:

Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
Avoid scraping close to the bead
Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation

Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.

Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we’ll tell you which.

Do you need glazing silicone in North Berwick?

Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That is why we trace the leak first.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
Silicone pulling away from the glass
Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight

Schools such as North Berwick High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

North Berwick questions

Will you come out to North Berwick?

Yes, North Berwick is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Does the coastal weather in North Berwick affect outside sealant?

Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.

Do you seal glass balustrade bases?

Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What guarantee do I get?

Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.

Is it messy?

Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.

Frames and glazing around North Berwick

North Berwick 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.

For landlords with property near North Berwick station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

DIY versus a professional finish

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

How it works

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for most jobs. Outdoor work around North Berwick depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.

First, we check where the water gets in.
The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
