Glazing silicone in Craigcrook
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We find the joint that is letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant can’t fix, we’ll tell you. If you are dealing with new silicone smeared over old sealant and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can put it right.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, where failing mastic is easy to miss. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Craigcrook.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Craigcrook and across Edinburgh.

Common questions in Craigcrook
Do you work for landlords with property near South Gyle station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Craigcrook?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone made for wet areas.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Common problems we fix in Craigcrook
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Schools such as The Mary Erskine School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Glass-to-glass joints
You see these joints clearly, so a straight, even finish matters.
Glass balustrade bases
Glass balustrades sit in a channel that’s often finished with sealant. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Craigcrook homes and the weather
Craigcrook is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, often through a property factor. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Columba's Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Letting a property close to South Gyle station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Why act early in Craigcrook
Leaks get worse, not better. Water can damage frames, walls, flooring and furniture so early action saves a bigger repair. For landlords in Craigcrook, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Parking in city streets around Craigcrook 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.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- 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
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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 that we can handle for you.
