About our glazing silicone in Clermiston
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Weather and movement take their toll, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. We’re often asked to deal with rooflight joints letting water in and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, across glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, where failing mastic is easy to miss. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Clermiston.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Parking in city streets around Clermiston can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.

Why act early in Clermiston
Resealing cannot 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. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
Clermiston questions
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Clermiston usually arranged?
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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near South Gyle station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
What does glazing silicone cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Send us photos and we’ll take a look.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Clermiston
The wrong sealant is a common cause. Some products do not bond well to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
If you let a flat or house near South Gyle station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Glazing silicone in Clermiston: local notes
Clermiston 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. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. If a home is listed or in a conservation area, it’s worth checking with the council before changing the look of windows or walls.
Caroline Park, about 2.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Clermiston. Managing a site like Craigmount High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
