How we handle glazing silicone in Cammo
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We replace it with a glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. If you have rooflight joints letting water in and new silicone smeared over old sealant, we can help, whatever the surface.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Cammo, access is the first thing to plan.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Cammo and everywhere else we cover.

Frames and glazing around Cammo
Cammo is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. 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. Windows normally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say.
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. Managing a site like Craigmount High School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Caroline Park, about 3.3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cammo, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
Other services in Cammo
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is usually sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on how much there is to do. Inside a flat in Cammo, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- 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.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Cammo
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in Cammo, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Cammo?
