- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise so the silicone can set properly. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Glazing silicone in Ingliston
Across Ingliston, 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. If you are dealing with silicone pulling away from the glass and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight, we can put it right.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Frames and glazing around Ingliston
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Craigmount High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For landlords with property near Edinburgh Gateway station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

FAQs for Ingliston
Do you cover smaller places like Ingliston?
Yes. Ingliston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edinburgh Gateway station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The sealant joint at the base can be renewed. Fitting glass is a separate trade.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.

- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site

Advice
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why deal with it now?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. Where the water is getting in through sealant, resealing is far simpler. If it’s the roof itself, we’ll tell you. In a place like Ingliston, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
