What we are called out for in Warriston
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they do not move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
- Sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed
Managing a site like Drummond Community High School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

- Is VAT in the price?
Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Warriston
Frameless shower screens rely on sealant to keep water in. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. If you have shower screens leaking along the wall or tray and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, we can put it right, on rooflights, glass balustrade bases and shower screens alike.
Sash and case windows are a feature of older tenements in all four Scottish cities, and plenty still have them. Whether you’re in a tenement flat or a house in Warriston, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
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.

Common questions in Warriston
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Warriston?
The owners of the flats generally 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.
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Warriston?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
Do you come to Warriston?
Yes. We cover Warriston. For a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
Topping up is a common cause of leaks. We remove the old silicone, clean the joint and reseal.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.

What else we do in Warriston
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
A screen’s wall joint and tray joint are where leaks start. Both are resealed with anti-fungal silicone.
Glass balustrade bases
Outdoor balustrade joints face the weather. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Leave it or put it right?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before it shows. For landlords in Warriston, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What affects the quote in Warriston
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much there is to do
- Whether the work is at height
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the property is

- The rough size of the job

Warriston homes and the weather
Warriston 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. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, often through a property factor. Windows generally belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say.
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows. In the older streets around St Serf's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
