Torness: your questions answered
Is glazing silicone in Torness guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do glazing silicone in Torness?
Yes, Torness 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.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
That is not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside and needs replacing by a glazier.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
How we handle glazing silicone in Torness
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. We are often asked to deal with sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and cracked silicone between glass panels, on glass-to-glass joints, rooflights and glass-to-frame joints.
In and around a place like Torness, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. 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 look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when cleaning the glass. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.

Glazing silicone in Torness: local notes
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for glazing joints and frame seals to keep out.
For jobs in and around Torness, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish. Around Torness, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
