Glazing & conservatory sealant in Stockbridge, Edinburgh
Glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Stockbridge. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water running down inside the glass
Do you need glazing silicone in Stockbridge?
Sunlight breaks sealant down, especially on conservatory roofs. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Rooflight joints letting water in
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Glazing silicone that has cracked or come away
If you look after a building such as Broughton High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Stockbridge
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint and both get fresh anti-fungal silicone. If you are dealing with water running down inside the glass and rooflight joints letting water in, we can put it right.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, and plenty still have them. Whether you are in a tenement flat or a house in Stockbridge, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Stockbridge as everywhere else we work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Harsh solvents may damage the bead.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What glazing silicone looks like in Stockbridge
Stockbridge is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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 usually belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say.
Letting a property close to Edinburgh Waverley station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. Homes close to Stockbridge Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Stockbridge questions
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Stockbridge generally arranged?
The owners of the flats normally agree repairs to shared parts like the roof and outside walls, and many buildings have a factor to arrange it. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds don’t. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How long does glazing silicone take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
We can, if the base joint is sealed. Photos help us see what’s there.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We pick a glazing silicone to suit the materials. Neutral-cure silicone is the usual choice.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing, including the tidy-up. For a tenement in Stockbridge, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We find where water is getting in and check whether it’s a sealant joint.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
