How we handle glazing silicone in Joppa
Glass replacement is not something we do and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. What we do is the silicone around the glass and that is often where the water gets in. We work on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone pulling away from the glass and leaking glazing joints on a rooflight.
In and around a place like Joppa, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Exposed frames and sills take the full force of wind-driven rain, so the mastic there works hard.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What affects the quote in Joppa
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job

We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Joppa questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Brunstane station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Joppa?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Is balustrade sealant something you do?
Yes, we reseal the joint at the base channel. We do not install or replace the glass.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If the cause is the roof, a panel or a unit, we will say so.
Frames and glazing around Joppa
Joppa is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with sash windows throughout the Georgian New Town. For listed homes and conservation areas, check with the council before changing how windows or walls look.
Homes close to St Philip's 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. If you let a flat or house near Brunstane station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as Portobello High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid strong solvents on or near the sealant
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Wipe the screen down after showering
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.

Why act early in Joppa
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame, so we use neutral-cure glazing silicone. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
