How we handle glazing silicone in Holy Corner
Glazing silicone is a maintenance item. Sun, rain and movement wear it down, and once it cracks, water follows. Resealing puts that right. We work on conservatory frames, shower screens and rooflights, and people most often call us about failed joints on frameless glass and leaks from the base of a shower screen.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. Whether you are in a tenement flat or a house in Holy Corner, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Glazing silicone in Holy Corner: local notes
Holy Corner is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Whitefoord House (about 1.8 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Holy Corner as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like Iain Tomlin School of Music? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as North Morningside Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Holy Corner: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Haymarket station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Holy Corner?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are normally repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds don’t. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we will say so.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Why deal with it now?
A new conservatory roof is a big job. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. In a tenement flat in Holy Corner, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Check the joints once a year. Spotting a crack early means a simpler fix, before water gets in.
Conservatory leaks rarely stay small. Water runs along frames and down walls, so get it looked at when you first see it.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and agents in Holy Corner can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What we’re called out for in Holy Corner
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
If you let a flat or house near Haymarket station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a tenement in Holy Corner, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
