What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Glazing silicone in Steelend
Not every silicone suits glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are failed joints on frameless glass and water tracking down the inner face of the glass.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Steelend depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone won’t bond to old and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Around Steelend, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Windows and doors in Steelend
Historic houses like Pittencrieff House (about 4.3 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Steelend has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
If you let a flat or house near Dunfermline City station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with right away.
When to call us in Steelend
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water running down inside the glass
Historic houses such as Pittencrieff House, about 4.3 miles south-east, show how far back building around Steelend goes.

- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
