We cover Morningside for glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Morningside, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s 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.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Glazing silicone in Morningside
We work across Morningside on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you have sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, we can put it right.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, which usually means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

Frames and glazing around Morningside
Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. 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.
Managing a site like Iain Tomlin School of Music? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around St Matthew's Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Slateford station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Surface by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
Shower screens
Mouldy or lifting sealant on a screen leaks. Cutting it out and resealing fixes it.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Morningside: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Slateford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Morningside get organised?
It generally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds do not, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure products suit most glass and frames.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, glazing sealant included.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
That is not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside, and a glazier needs to replace it.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
Yes, where the base is finished with sealant. Send us photos and we’ll take a look.
Why it’s worth doing now in Morningside
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. In a tenement flat in Morningside, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why book with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- You choose the colour before work begins
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Condensation trapped between two panes
- Glass that needs replacing
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
