DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
About our glazing silicone in Goldenacre
Across Goldenacre, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are water tracking down the inner face of the glass and new silicone smeared over old sealant.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Goldenacre.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Advice
Glazing silicone in Goldenacre: local notes
Goldenacre 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. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look.
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 Trinity Academy? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near St Serf's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
- Glass that needs replacing

Goldenacre questions
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Goldenacre any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley 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’ll give you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
A top-up rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t bond to cured silicone so we take it all out and start clean.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How long does glazing silicone take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Conservatory frames
Exposed frame joints wear with the weather. Renewed sealant keeps water out.
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with a leaking shower screen early protects the floor and ceiling. Water from a failed joint can soak into the floor before it shows. In a tenement flat in Goldenacre, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
