Related advice
Glazing silicone in Warriston, done properly
Across Warriston, we reseal glazing joints in homes, offices and hotels. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases, and the jobs we see most are water escaping where a screen meets the wall and stained, discoloured glazing silicone.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

What happens if it’s left?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In an older home around Warriston, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Glazing silicone in Warriston: local notes
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Episcopal Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Managing a site like Currie High School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Curriehill station change hands often, and leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Other landmarks nearby include Bavelaw Castle (3.8 miles south) and ICE Scotland Museum (0.7 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Warklaw Hill.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Keep air moving in the conservatory
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A broken pane or roof panel
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing

What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.

Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. We cut out the failed sealant and reseal the base joint using a sealant that suits the materials.
