About our glazing silicone in Burgh Muir
Across Burgh Muir, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. We are often asked to deal with conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and failed joints on frameless glass, on rooflights, glass-to-frame joints and shower screens.
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 Burgh Muir, access is the first thing to plan, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why deal with it now?
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. For landlords in Burgh Muir, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- You choose the colour before work begins
- A choice of colours where the product allows

Landlord and commercial work in Burgh Muir
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Burgh Muir, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
What affects the quote in Burgh Muir
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Frames and glazing around Burgh Muir
Burgh Muir is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, often through a property factor. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds.
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Homes close to Mayfield Salisbury Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Schools such as Sciennes Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

FAQs for Burgh Muir
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Burgh Muir any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Burgh Muir?
The owners of the flats usually agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What does glazing silicone cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you reseal the base of a glass balustrade?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Send us pictures and we will take a look.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How the job changes by surface
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
