What affects the quote in Reston
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
- The size of the job
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How we handle glazing silicone in Reston
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. If you’re dealing with black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and failed joints on frameless glass, we can help, on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and conservatory frames alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Reston depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint renewing the joint is the simpler fix. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. Around Reston, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
What guarantee do I get?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. A misted unit has failed inside, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.

Signs you need glazing silicone in Reston
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
For an older house near a landmark such as Reston Church Of Scotland, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How hidden problems are handled
Windows and doors in Reston
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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.
For landlords with property near Reston station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outside jobs in Reston need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
