About our glazing silicone in Mayfield
Across Mayfield, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. From conservatories to shower screens, it’s the same careful method, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you are dealing with conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and failed joints on frameless glass, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mayfield 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Mayfield, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Questions from Mayfield
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Mayfield usually arranged?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are usually repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. Where the title deeds are silent, the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 fills the gaps. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Mayfield?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
What guarantee do I get?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to every job we do.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Don’t use blades or scrapers near the bead when cleaning the glass. Stick to a soft cloth.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below long before you see it.

Rooflights
Water around a rooflight is not always the sealant. We check which it is.
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Common problems we fix in Mayfield
Shower screen silicone gets wet every day. Mould grows into the bead and the edges begin to peel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
If you live in an older home near Craigmillar Park Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Should I try it myself first?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Mayfield homes and the weather
Mayfield 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, and the Georgian New Town is known for its sash windows. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look.
Schools such as Royal Blind School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Edinburgh Waverley station change hands often, and glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mayfield
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We say so plainly, so you can call the right trade. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Mayfield, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
