Jock's Lodge homes and the weather
Jock's Lodge is within about 2 miles 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. Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. If a home is listed or in a conservation area, it’s worth checking with the council before changing the look of windows or walls.
Schools such as Mannafields Christian School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to Willowbrae Parish Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Jock's Lodge is about 2 miles south-east of Leith, in Edinburgh. Jock's Lodge gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our Edinburgh coverage runs to 175 places, Jock's Lodge among them.

About our glazing silicone in Jock's Lodge
Our work covers conservatory joints, 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. We work on glass-to-glass joints, shower screens and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and stained, discoloured glazing silicone.
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 Jock's Lodge, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Jock's Lodge and everywhere else we cover.

What affects the quote in Jock's Lodge
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Jock's Lodge
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Jock's Lodge affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
How do I get a quote for glazing silicone in Jock's Lodge?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you need glazing silicone in Jock's Lodge?
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. If the glass and frame weren’t cleaned properly, the bead can peel away early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Glass balustrade bases
The base joint is cut out and resealed. We do not install or replace glass.
Glass-to-frame joints
Silicone at the glass edge seals it into the frame. When it splits, water can get into the frame.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs, and the area is left clean. Inside a flat in Jock's Lodge, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Should I try it myself first?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
