Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Oxgangs
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. The joint down the wall and the one along the tray are common leak points and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights, and common reasons people get in touch are mouldy sealant around glass panels and glass-to-glass joints that have split.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, where failing mastic is easy to miss. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Oxgangs, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Oxgangs: your questions answered
Can you do glazing silicone in Oxgangs?
Yes, Oxgangs is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Slateford station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can you reseal a frameless shower screen?
Yes, we do these often. We use anti-fungal silicone suited to bathrooms.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Oxgangs
Sealant laid over old sealant doesn’t last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
Historic houses such as Whitefoord House, about 3.5 miles north-east, show how far back building around Oxgangs goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Are they insured?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
If you manage several properties in or around Oxgangs, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Structural problems with a conservatory roof
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
- Rooflights
- Glass-to-glass joints
Windows and doors in Oxgangs
Historic houses like Whitefoord House (about 3.5 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Oxgangs has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings use a factor to arrange it. Windows generally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say.
For landlords with property near Slateford station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Firrhill High School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Leave it or put it right?
You don’t need new glazing because the sealant has gone. If the glass and frame are sound, new silicone is often all it takes. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
Conservatory frame joints are a common source of leaks. We cut out the old sealant and reseal.
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. If the leak is from the roof around it, a roofer needs to look.
