Glazing & conservatory sealant in Timber Bush, Edinburgh
Our applicators work in Timber Bush on glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.

- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A sagging or failing conservatory roof

- Glass that needs replacing
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

Glazing silicone in Timber Bush, done properly
We renew glazing silicone on conservatories, rooflights and glass panels, as well as frameless shower screens and glass balustrade bases. The old sealant comes out, the joint is cleaned and new silicone goes in. If you are dealing with leaks from the base of a shower screen and rooflight joints letting water in, we can help.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. For a flat in Timber Bush, access is the first thing to plan, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Timber Bush homes and the weather
Timber Bush is within about 1 mile of 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. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as St Ninians Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Timber Bush is about 3 miles north-east of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Across the EH6 area, we can carry out glazing silicone at your property. 175 places in Edinburgh are on our list, large and small.
Jobs for glazing silicone in EH6 and EH1 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. That includes homes and businesses on Mill Lane, Bath Road and Links Lane. Neighbouring places we cover for glazing silicone include Leith (1 mile north), North Leith (1 mile west), Bonnington (1 mile south-west), Pilrig (1 mile south-west) and Newhaven (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover Edinburgh (3 miles south-west), West End (3 miles south-west), West Coates (3 miles south-west), Sciennes (3 miles south), Merchiston (3 miles south-west) and Newington (3 miles south).
Near you in Timber Bush
Typical jobs here are in homes near Taylor Gardens, Leith Academy and McDonald Road Library. For rail, the closest station is Edinburgh Waverley station, roughly 1.9 miles south-west. Well-known places in the area include Ocean Terminal (under half a mile north-west) and History of Education Centre aka Victorian Schoolroom (1 mile west). Not far away are Whinny Hill and The New Leaf Co-op.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
Keep the new joints dry for as long as we advise. After that, clean glass with a mild cleaner.
Damp patches, drips and condensation along a joint are worth checking. It may be sealant, or something else and we will find out which.
Why deal with it now?
You do not need new glazing because the sealant has gone. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Timber Bush, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Common questions in Timber Bush
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Timber Bush?
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 usually the first to need attention.
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Timber Bush, along with the rest of our area.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We look after the sealant joints, and we’ll tell you if a unit looks like it has failed.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we will say so.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
When to call us in Timber Bush
UV light ages silicone, especially on conservatory roofs. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Failed joints on frameless glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
Schools such as Leith School of Art are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How much experience the applicator has
- What insurance they hold

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job for a typical job. Parking in city streets around Timber Bush can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
