Glazing silicone in Tweedbank, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. Common call-outs are for black or yellowed silicone on glass joints and water tracking down the inner face of the glass, across glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens.
In and around a place like Tweedbank, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, depending on how much there is to do. Outside jobs in Tweedbank need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Glass that needs replacing
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Tweedbank
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. We don’t install or replace glass.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
What glazing silicone looks like in Tweedbank
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Tweedbank station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

When to call us in Tweedbank
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
Managing a site like Galashiels Academy? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Questions from Tweedbank
Do you work for landlords with property near Tweedbank station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Tweedbank for glazing silicone?
Yes, Tweedbank is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tweedbank
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. In an older home around Tweedbank, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Why book with us
