Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Kirkliston
Our work covers conservatory joints, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. Each joint is cut out, cleaned and resealed. Common call-outs are for cracked silicone between glass panels and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, on conservatory frames, shower screens and rooflights.
In and around a place like Kirkliston, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Quotes for glazing silicone in Kirkliston
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and photos are welcome.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What glazing silicone looks like in Kirkliston
Kirkliston 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. 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, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look.
Schools such as Queensferry High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Dalmeny station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Homes close to Kirkliston Parish Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a place like Kirkliston, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice

More services for Kirkliston
Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. Failed sealant there lets water collect.
Rooflights
Water around a rooflight isn’t always the sealant. We find the cause first.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.
FAQs for Kirkliston
Will you come out to Kirkliston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Dalmeny station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed with a suitable product.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We reseal the joints around it, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
