What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
About our glazing silicone in Star
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. If you have conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can put it right.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Glass that needs replacing
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.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Star
Do you cover smaller places like Star?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Star in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes, Star is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
Silicone does not stick to silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. We cut out the old sealant first.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies on all our work.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What glazing silicone looks like in Star
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes 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.
Around Star, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
