Why it’s worth doing now in East Pilton
A new conservatory roof is a big job. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we’ll say so. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in East Pilton, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Glazing silicone in East Pilton
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you’re dealing with rooflight joints letting water in and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, we can help.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. For a flat in East Pilton, access is the first thing to plan, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Glass balustrade bases
We reseal the joint where the glass meets the base channel. Glass fitting is a separate trade.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing in most cases. In a city area like East Pilton, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

FAQs for East Pilton
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haymarket 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 give you a clear price.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like East Pilton any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone that suits the glass and frame. In bathrooms, we use anti-fungal silicone.
What guarantee do I get?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, glazing sealant included.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in East Pilton?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.

Frames and glazing around East Pilton
East Pilton 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. Historic houses like Caroline Park (about 1.1 miles north) are a reminder that the area around East Pilton has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like Broughton High School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Haymarket station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Caroline Park, about 1.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around East Pilton, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
