About our glazing silicone in Roseburn
Sealant on glazing does not last for ever. Sun, rain and movement wear it down and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. Typical jobs include stained, discoloured glazing silicone and cracked silicone between glass panels, on conservatory frames, glass balustrade bases and glass-to-glass joints.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Natural stone around older windows needs a sealant that will not mark or attack it, which usually means a neutral-cure product or a traditional sand mastic rather than an acetoxy silicone.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)

- Cracked or broken glass

FAQs for Roseburn
Do you work for landlords with property near Haymarket station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Roseburn?
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 normally the first to need attention.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old silicone carefully, and the joints are cleaned and resealed.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
How much does glazing silicone cost in Roseburn?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Windows and doors in Roseburn
Roseburn 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. Historic houses like Whitefoord House (about 2.3 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Roseburn has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like St George's School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Murrayfield Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
