Why it’s worth doing now in Seton
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. 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.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why us?
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Full insurance on every job
Glazing silicone in Seton
We don’t replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. We are often asked to deal with water getting into a conservatory at the joints and cracked silicone between glass panels, across conservatory frames, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on the amount of work. For a place like Seton, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Related advice
Seton: your questions answered
Does the coastal weather in Seton affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Do you cover smaller places like Seton?
Yes. Seton 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.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, it’s a common job. We use anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Seton
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Seton and across East Lothian. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
What glazing silicone looks like in Seton
Seton is close to 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For landlords with property near Prestonpans station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Schools such as Ross High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Seton is about 4 miles east of Musselburgh, in East Lothian. We carry out glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Seton, as part of our work across East Lothian. Seton is one of 48 places in East Lothian where we work. For nearby work, see our Edinburgh page (10 miles or so).

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Frames that have decayed or split
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Condensation trapped between two panes
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Check the joints once a year. Catching a split early keeps the repair small.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
Do you need glazing silicone in Seton?
Not every leak is a sealant problem: broken panels, roof problems and blocked gutters can all let water in. That’s why we trace the leak first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
If you live in an older home near Tranent Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
