Common questions in Dalmeny
I let a flat near Dalmeny station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Dalmeny?
Yes. Dalmeny is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for most jobs, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, it’s a common job. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
About our glazing silicone in Dalmeny
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. We work on rooflights, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are failed sealant around rooflight glass and cracked silicone between glass panels.
In and around a place like Dalmeny, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Different surfaces, different methods
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We find the cause first.
Shower screens
Silicone holds the water in on frameless screens. We reseal without scratching the glass.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. The cause may be sealant or another part and we will find out which.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Outdoor work around Dalmeny depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What else we do in Dalmeny
Why it’s worth doing now in Dalmeny
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
What affects the quote in Dalmeny
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
If you are in Dalmeny and need glazing silicone, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Dalmeny homes and the weather
Dalmeny is within about 1 mile of 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 Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. 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.
For landlords with property near Dalmeny station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. In the older streets around Dalmeny Kirk, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Schools such as Queensferry High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Dalmeny is about 1 mile east of Queensferry, in Edinburgh. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Dalmeny can book us for glazing silicone. The work is guaranteed for a year. Dalmeny is one of 175 places in Edinburgh we cover. You can also see our page for Edinburgh, roughly 7 miles from Dalmeny.
