Parkgrove questions
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Parkgrove get organised?
Most tenements arrange shared repairs through the owners or a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds do not, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
I let a flat near South Gyle station. Can you help?

How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Parkgrove?

How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.

How we handle glazing silicone in Parkgrove
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it, and if it’s something sealant cannot fix, we will tell you. Common call-outs are for water escaping where a screen meets the wall and silicone pulling away from the glass, on shower screens, glass balustrade bases and rooflights.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. Access is the first thing to plan for a job in Parkgrove.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
If silicone on glass has cracked, water is already getting in. Resealing now is a small job compared with fixing water damage later.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Frames and glazing around Parkgrove
Parkgrove is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. 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. If a home is listed or in a conservation area, it’s worth checking with the council before changing the look of windows or walls.
Schools such as Craigmount High School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Historic houses such as Caroline Park, about 2.6 miles north-east, show how far back building around Parkgrove goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. Parking in city streets around Parkgrove can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints

What we’re called out for in Parkgrove
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Failed joints on frameless glass
For landlords with property near South Gyle station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the colour is chosen
Why it’s worth doing now in Parkgrove
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames usually just need resealing. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
