What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We use a glazing silicone suited to each.
Glass-to-glass joints
Glass-to-glass joints depend entirely on the sealant. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
Glazing silicone in Greenhill
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. We work on glass-to-glass joints, conservatory frames and shower screens, and the jobs we see most are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and mouldy sealant around glass panels.
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 Greenhill, access is the first thing to plan.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for most jobs for a typical job. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Greenhill, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.

Greenhill questions
Does the coastal weather in Greenhill affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Greenhill generally arranged?
The owners of the flats usually agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds do not. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
What guarantee do I get?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It does not last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We look after the sealant joints, and we will tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. General-purpose sealant from a DIY shop may not suit glass or the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Greenhill homes and the weather
Greenhill is within about 3 miles 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 Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, often through a property factor. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds.
If you live in an older home near Morningside United Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Iain Tomlin School of Music, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Haymarket station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
