North Queensferry homes and the weather
North Queensferry is close to 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 live in an older home near Episcopal Church of St Peter, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near North Queensferry station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Glazing silicone in North Queensferry
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points, and we reseal both. We’re often asked to deal with water getting into a conservatory at the joints and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, across rooflights, shower screens and glass-to-frame joints.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around North Queensferry is planned around the weather. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why act early in North Queensferry
Replacing windows or a shower screen isn’t needed for a failed joint. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. Around North Queensferry, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Signs you need glazing silicone in North Queensferry
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Look out for these signs:
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
Schools such as Queensferry High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Your questions about glazing silicone in North Queensferry
Do you work for landlords with property near North Queensferry station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Which silicone is used for glass joints?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone and anti-fungal silicone in wet areas.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for most jobs, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in North Queensferry need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: 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.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
