Glazing silicone in Prestonpans, done properly
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. Common call-outs are for a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and split or lifting silicone on glass, on rooflights, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Why deal with it now?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We reseal with a suitable glazing silicone.
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
What glazing silicone looks like in Prestonpans
Prestonpans is close to 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Homes close to Prestongrange Parish Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Preston Lodge High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Prestonpans
Do you work for landlords with property near Prestonpans station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Prestonpans 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. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
How long does glazing silicone take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
