- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Water running down inside the glass
How we handle glazing silicone in Braepark
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels plus shower screens and the bases of glass balustrades. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We are often asked to deal with water tracking down the inner face of the glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, which generally means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

- Glass-to-glass joints

- Glass balustrade bases
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

Windows and doors in Braepark
Braepark 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
Caroline Park, about 2.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Braepark. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Craigmount High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Gateway station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Local landmarks in Braepark

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Common questions in Braepark
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Braepark?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds do not, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
I let a flat near Edinburgh Gateway station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you replace glass?
No. We renew the sealant. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How long does glazing silicone take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most jobs. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Braepark?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Why it’s worth doing now in Braepark
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. Private landlords in Braepark must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
