How we handle glazing silicone in Inverleith
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass looks poor and can leak. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. If you have sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and mouldy sealant around glass panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Inverleith is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Inverleith and everywhere else we cover.

How we quote for glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. The cause may be sealant or another part, and we will tell you which.
Inverleith: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Inverleith?
It normally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds don’t, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does glazing silicone take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Do you replace glass?
No, our work is the silicone. A glazier replaces glass and units.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What else we do in Inverleith
Landlords, agents and businesses in Inverleith
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Why deal with it now?
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. For landlords in Inverleith, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- Colour picked to suit the job
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Common problems we fix in Inverleith
Not every leak is a sealant problem: failed roof panels, slipped glazing bars and blocked gutters cause them too. That is why we trace the leak first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
Rented homes near Edinburgh Waverley station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What insurance they hold
- What the cure time is
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- A roof that has moved or dropped
- Water coming through the roof rather than a sealant joint
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a city area like Inverleith, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Frames and glazing around Inverleith
Inverleith is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, often through a property factor. Who owns the windows depends on the title deeds.
For an older house near a landmark such as Inverleith Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Broughton High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
