Glazing silicone in Sciennes
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that is suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. Typical jobs include glass-to-glass joints that have split and water running down inside the glass, across glass-to-frame joints, shower screens and glass-to-glass joints.
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 Sciennes.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Sciennes questions
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Does the coastal weather in Sciennes affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you come to Sciennes?
Yes. We work in Sciennes, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Is it enough to run a bead over the old sealant?
New silicone won’t bond to old silicone and water gets between the layers. The old bead always comes out first.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Frames and glazing around Sciennes
Sciennes is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look.
Homes close to St Catherine's Argyle Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sciennes Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

Why act early in Sciennes
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but new silicone will not bond to old, and the leak normally returns. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Sciennes, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours for most jobs, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Parking in city streets around Sciennes 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.
