- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
Glazing silicone in Symington, done properly
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, we can put it right.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the quote in Symington
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Landlord and commercial work in Symington
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Symington: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Symington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is glazing silicone in Symington guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Symington homes and the weather
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. 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.
If you live in an older home near Symington Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A broken pane or roof panel

- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
Common problems we fix in Symington
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
In and around Symington, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including the tidy-up. Around Symington, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
