Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Edinburgh Waterfront
Across Edinburgh Waterfront, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. Common call-outs are for silicone pulling away from the glass and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-frame joints.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Edinburgh Waterfront, access is the first thing to plan.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Windows and doors in Edinburgh Waterfront
Edinburgh Waterfront is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns 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.
Managing a site like Ainslie Park High School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Haymarket station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Edinburgh Waterfront is about 2 miles north-west of Silvermills, in Edinburgh. From the centre of Edinburgh Waterfront to the outskirts, glazing silicone is available for homes and businesses alike. Edinburgh Waterfront is one of 175 towns and villages in Edinburgh we cover for glazing silicone.
We cover every part of EH5, EH4 and EH95 for glazing silicone. If you need glazing silicone at a property on Herring Road, Merlin Avenue and Crewe Road West or a nearby road, we can help. If you are just outside Edinburgh Waterfront, we cover West Pilton (1 mile south), Granton (1 mile south-east), Pilton (1 mile south), Muirhouse (1 mile south-west) and Crewe Toll (1 mile south). We also work in nearby towns such as Edinburgh (3 miles south-east), Leith (3 miles east), Bonnington (3 miles east), Greenside (3 miles south-east), Broughton (3 miles south-east) and West End (3 miles south-east).
What’s near Edinburgh Waterfront

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Common problems we fix in Edinburgh Waterfront
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Some products don’t bond well to glass, and acetoxy types can attack some frame materials.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Water running down inside the glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
In the older streets around Granton Congregational Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- What insurance they hold
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the cure time is
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing, and we’ll tell you if that’s not the case. For landlords in Edinburgh Waterfront, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.

Questions from Edinburgh Waterfront
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Edinburgh Waterfront?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Edinburgh Waterfront?
The owners of the flats normally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work has a one-year guarantee.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- A broken pane or roof panel
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Shower screens
- Rooflights

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a city area like Edinburgh Waterfront, 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 check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
