Glazing silicone in Prestongrange, done properly
Across Prestongrange, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We work on rooflights, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens, and people most often call us about silicone pulling away from the glass and water tracking down the inner face of the glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Prestongrange depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

What else we do in Prestongrange
Frames and glazing around Prestongrange
Prestongrange 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. 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.
Managing a site like Preston Lodge High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Prestongrange Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
What we’re called out for in Prestongrange
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they do not move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Water running down inside the glass
Rented homes near Prestonpans station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Common questions in Prestongrange
Do you work for landlords with property near Prestonpans station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Prestongrange any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Do you work in Prestongrange?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed and needs replacing by a glazier.

Why act early in Prestongrange
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
