Do you need glazing silicone in Wilton?
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hawick High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Glazing silicone in Wilton, done properly
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. If you’re dealing with water escaping where a screen meets the wall and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Wilton is planned around the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wilton and across the Scottish Borders.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Around Wilton, 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.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Why act early in Wilton
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames generally just need resealing. Around Wilton, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in Wilton can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Windows and doors in Wilton
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Wilton Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it and reseal with glazing silicone.
Conservatory frames
Frame joints face sun and rain all year. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Wilton
Is Wilton within the area you cover?
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.
Is Wilton in your area for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Wilton is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we will say so.
How long does glazing silicone take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A glazing-grade silicone is best. Ours is a neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
- A few photos by email, if you can
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
