How we handle glazing silicone in Church Hill
Across Church Hill, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method. We work on glass balustrade bases, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about rooflight joints letting water in and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Church Hill, access is the first thing to plan.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Church Hill: your questions answered
Does the coastal weather in Church Hill affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you work for landlords with property near Haymarket station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What glazing silicone looks like in Church Hill
Church Hill 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. The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look.
For landlords with property near Haymarket station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you live in an older home near Churchill Theatre, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Iain Tomlin School of Music? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. That slows mould growth on 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Church Hill
A leaking joint won’t 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 a tall building in Church Hill, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
