Questions from Westruther
Is glazing silicone in Westruther guaranteed?
All our work, in Westruther and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Westruther?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Westruther?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Glazing silicone in Westruther
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Westruther is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

When to call us in Westruther
Silicone won’t bond to a dirty surface. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
In the older streets around Old Parish Church and Churchyard, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What guarantee comes with the work
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
Windows and doors in Westruther
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.
Around Westruther, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Different surfaces, different methods
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.

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