St Andrews homes and the weather
St Andrews 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. 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.
Schools such as Madras College are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around St Andrews, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Leuchars station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

How we handle glazing silicone in St Andrews
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-frame joints, and common reasons people get in touch are split or lifting silicone on glass and rooflight joints letting water in.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

St Andrews questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Leuchars station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to St Andrews?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work has a one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you replace glass?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Andrews
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Outside jobs in St Andrews need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice

Other services in St Andrews
Why deal with it now?
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes, and we’ll tell you if that’s not the case. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
