Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
About our glazing silicone in Scottish Borders
We do not replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. What we do is the silicone around the glass, which is where many leaks start. Common call-outs are for split or lifting silicone on glass and cracked silicone between glass panels, on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.
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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before you notice. 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.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.
Why us?
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- We leave the area clean and tidy

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Around Scottish Borders, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Common questions in Scottish Borders
Do you cover smaller places like Scottish Borders?
Yes. Scottish Borders is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Reston station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, 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 balustrade sealant something you do?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
It depends on the cause. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed but roof and panel problems need another trade.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Scottish Borders?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
What glazing silicone looks like in Scottish Borders
Scottish Borders is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
Around Scottish Borders, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Local landmarks in Scottish Borders

What we’re called out for in Scottish Borders
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
Letting a property close to Reston station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Glass balustrade bases
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Use gentle products around the joints
Do not use blades or scrapers near the bead when you clean. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
