Glazing silicone in Bellevue, done properly
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and failed sealant around rooflight glass.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Natural stone around older windows needs a sealant that won’t mark or attack it, which generally means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
Why act early in Bellevue
A leaking joint will not fix itself. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture, so it pays to deal with it early. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Bellevue, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Common questions in Bellevue
Do you work for landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Bellevue?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you replace glass?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee to every job we do.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a city area like Bellevue, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
What we are called out for in Bellevue
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. We find the cause before we seal anything.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
- Water running down inside the glass
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Is VAT in the price?
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We renew it without marking the glass.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
Bellevue homes and the weather
Bellevue is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Schools such as Drummond Community High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
