Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Baberton
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we’ll tell you. If you have water tracking down the inner face of the glass and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Baberton, access is the first thing to plan.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Leave it or put it right?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. Private landlords in Baberton must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Surface by surface
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Baberton homes and the weather
Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. If a home is listed or in a conservation area, it’s worth checking with the council before changing the look of windows or walls. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Letting a property close to Wester Hailes station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Common questions in Baberton
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wester Hailes station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Baberton get organised?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are usually repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
All our work has a 12-month guarantee.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
