Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Maybury
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. We work on glass balustrade bases, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints, and people most often call us about leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Natural stone around older windows needs a sealant that will not mark or attack it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Maybury, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We look at the glazing and agree which joints need resealing.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Common questions in Maybury
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. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Maybury?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds do not, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Why not top up the existing silicone?
It doesn’t last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
How the job changes by surface
Rooflights
We reseal the glazing joints on rooflights. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. It must be clean, neat and well bonded.
What affects the quote in Maybury
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Rooflights
- Conservatory frames
- Shower screens
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass-to-glass joints
Leave it or put it right?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone doesn’t stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Private landlords in Maybury must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

Maybury homes and the weather
Maybury 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. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Gateway station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Historic houses such as Caroline Park, about 4 miles north-east, show how far back building around Maybury goes.

When to call us in Maybury
Glass and frames expand and contract with the temperature at different rates. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Craigmount High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
