Glazing silicone in Sprouston
We don’t 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. We work on shower screens, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are stained, discoloured glazing silicone and failed joints on frameless glass.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Sprouston is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Do you need glazing silicone in Sprouston?
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Look out for these signs:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kelso High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What your quote should include

- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Common questions in Sprouston
What guarantee comes with glazing silicone in Sprouston?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Sprouston?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Sprouston?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Send us photos and we will take a look when you drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Windows and doors in Sprouston
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Sprouston Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Other services in Sprouston
Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
Frame-to-wall joints on a conservatory move with the weather. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so a straight, even finish matters.
Landlord and commercial work in Sprouston
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. For a place like Sprouston, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
