Glazing silicone in Wilkieston
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We work on glass balustrade bases, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints, and the jobs we see most are glazing silicone that has cracked or come away and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
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, so the mastic there works hard.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Cracked or broken glass
- Frames that have decayed or split
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Around Wilkieston, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Why deal with it now?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Surface by surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Glazing silicone in Wilkieston: local notes
Historic houses like Howden House (about 4.2 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Wilkieston has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
Howden House, about 4.2 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wilkieston, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. If you let a flat or house near Kirknewton station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
