About our glazing silicone in Liberton
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. Common call-outs are for a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and leaks from the base of a shower screen, on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, where failing mastic is easy to miss. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Liberton.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What else we do in Liberton
Your questions about glazing silicone in Liberton
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Liberton usually 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 don’t. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Can you do glazing silicone in Liberton?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Liberton is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
That is not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside, and a glazier needs to replace it.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Liberton?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Liberton
Sealant laid over old sealant does not last. Many failed joints we see have been topped up rather than cut out, and water gets between the layers.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
Schools such as Liberton High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Liberton homes and the weather
Historic houses like Whitefoord House (about 2.7 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Liberton has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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. Windows generally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say.
Homes close to Liberton Parish Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you let a flat or house near Shawfair station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

How the job changes by surface
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. Renewing the sealant keeps water out of the channel.
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Frames that have decayed or split
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Use gentle products around the joints
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the problem grows.
