How we handle glazing silicone in Craigentinny
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, and the silicone between them takes the strain. Once it splits or comes away, water finds a way through. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you have stained, discoloured glazing silicone and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can help, on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. Whether you’re in a tenement flat or a house in Craigentinny, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job and we leave things clean and tidy. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Craigentinny, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.

Glazing silicone in Craigentinny: local notes
Craigentinny is close to 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. Historic houses like Whitefoord House (about 1.7 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Craigentinny has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Portobello High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Restalrig Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Brunstane station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Craigentinny is about 2 miles south-east of Bonnington, in Edinburgh. Jobs in Craigentinny get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Craigentinny is one of 175 places in Edinburgh we cover.

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. For landlords in Craigentinny, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Craigentinny
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water travels along the frame and into the wall so it’s best dealt with straight away.
Common questions in Craigentinny
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Craigentinny any different?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Brunstane station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
We do not replace glass. We look after the sealant joints and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We will tell you when we quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Do you cover Craigentinny?
We do. Craigentinny is part of the area we cover.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
