Advice
Glazing silicone in St Boswells, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. If you are dealing with glass-to-glass joints that have split and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, we can put it right.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around St Boswells is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What glazing silicone looks like in St Boswells
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, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
In the older streets around St Boswells Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Questions from St Boswells
Will you come out to St Boswells?
Yes, St Boswells is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is St Boswells in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, St Boswells is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Silicone doesn’t stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Photos help us see what’s there.
What does glazing silicone cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.

Why act early in St Boswells
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but new silicone won’t bond to old, and the leak usually returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. In an older home around St Boswells, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Surface by surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight isn’t always the sealant. We find the cause first.
What we’re called out for in St Boswells
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
Look out for these signs:
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Around St Boswells, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- Is VAT in the price?
- What preparation is included
- What the cure time is

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Condensation trapped between two panes
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
