Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Pencaitland
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Resealing puts that right. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases, and common reasons people get in touch are new silicone smeared over old sealant and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Pencaitland is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Pencaitland and across East Lothian.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Common problems we fix in Pencaitland
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould grows into the bead and the joint starts to lift.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Historic houses such as Hamilton House, about 4.6 miles north-west, show how far back building around Pencaitland goes.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Condensation trapped between two panes
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
