How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outside jobs in St Mary's need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- 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.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in St Mary's
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass and reseal the joint. If you are dealing with leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, we can help.
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, so the mastic there works hard.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall, so get it looked at when you first see it.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Cracked or broken glass
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
Why act early in St Mary's
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we will tell you. In a place like St Mary's, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

St Mary's homes and the weather
St Mary's is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is 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.
Around St Mary's, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What the job involves on each surface

Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.

Is St Mary's within the area you cover?
Yes. St Mary's is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you leave a mess?

Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?

Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
Often, if the leak is at a sealant joint. We trace the leak first before any sealing.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What we are called out for in St Mary's
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
For jobs in and around St Mary's, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
