About our glazing silicone in Victoria Park
Conservatory leaks often start at a sealant joint, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on conservatory frames, glass-to-glass joints and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about leaks from the base of a shower screen and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away.
Tenement flats in Scotland’s cities often have windows high above the street, where failing mastic is easy to miss. For a flat in Victoria Park, access is the first thing to plan, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Questions from Victoria Park
How do repairs to the shared parts of a tenement in Victoria Park get organised?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are generally repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds do not. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Does the coastal weather in Victoria Park 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. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
Glass replacement isn’t our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
How long does glazing silicone take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
A leaking joint won’t fix itself. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What glazing silicone looks like in Victoria Park
Victoria Park 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.
Historic houses such as Whitefoord House, about 1.7 miles south-east, show how far back building around Victoria Park goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Rented homes near Edinburgh Waverley station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Trinity Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Victoria Park is about 2 miles north of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh. Whether you are in the middle of Victoria Park or further out, we cover glazing silicone for every kind of property, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Victoria Park is one of 175 towns and villages in Edinburgh we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower screens
Frameless screens rely on silicone at the base and wall. We renew it without marking the glass.
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Victoria Park
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job in most cases. In a city area like Victoria Park, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- 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.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- We look over every joint and, where we can, test it with water.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in

We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water doesn’t back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
