Glazing silicone in Stichill, done properly
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. If you are dealing with stained, discoloured glazing silicone and water running down inside the glass, we can help.
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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Leave it or put it right?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Signs you need glazing silicone in Stichill
On shower screens, constant water and cleaning products wear silicone. Mould gets into it and the joint starts to lift.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
In the older streets around United Presbyterian Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

For landlords and businesses

How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Stichill?

Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Stichill homes and the weather
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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kelso High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. A fresh bead seals them again.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Frames that have decayed or split
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
