How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Where glass sits in a frame, silicone keeps water out. A failed bead lets water in.
Rooflights
Rooflights get the full force of the weather. The sealant around the glass and frame wears faster than most.
Glazing silicone in Murrayfield, done properly
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks generally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and shower screens, and common reasons people get in touch are new silicone smeared over old sealant and water running down inside the glass.
Murrayfield 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Murrayfield
Do you work for landlords with property near Haymarket station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is glazing silicone in a coastal place like Murrayfield any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
A glazing silicone chosen for the joint. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice, as some acetoxy types can attack certain metals.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we will say so.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. A proper job means cutting out, cleaning and resealing.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Murrayfield?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Frames and glazing around Murrayfield
Murrayfield is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as The Mary Erskine School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Haymarket station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, and the area is left clean. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Murrayfield, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Renewing it early keeps it simple compared with fixing water damage later.
