About our glazing silicone in Caiystane
We work across Caiystane on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. If you’re dealing with mouldy sealant around glass panels and leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame, we can help, whatever the surface.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, which usually means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing can’t fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Caiystane, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
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
- We agree the colour with you first
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
What glazing silicone looks like in Caiystane
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds.
For landlords with property near Slateford station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Homes close to Fairmilehead Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for most jobs in most cases. Parking in city streets around Caiystane can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.

- We cut away the failed silicone.

Before we arrive

Related advice
What we are called out for in Caiystane
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Failed joints on frameless glass
If you look after a building such as Firrhill High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Common questions in Caiystane
Do you cover Caiystane for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Caiystane is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Slateford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
That depends where the water is getting in. Sealant joints we can renew but roof and panel problems need another trade.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
