About our glazing silicone in Gayfield
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks usually come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on conservatory frames, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints, and people most often call us about shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and drips on the inside of a conservatory window.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Gayfield, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Gayfield
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including the tidy-up. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Gayfield, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- We clean and prepare the joint.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- The joints are checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Gayfield, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Fully insured
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

Can I do it myself?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Gayfield questions
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Gayfield any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
It depends on the cause. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Do you work in Gayfield?
Yes, we do. Gayfield is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Windows and doors in Gayfield
Gayfield 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Managing a site like London Street Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

When to call us in Gayfield
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
If you live in an older home near Broughton Place Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
