Frames and glazing around Seafield
Seafield is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Edinburgh Waverley station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. If you live in an older home near Restalrig Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Seafield is about 1 mile north-east of Lochend, in Edinburgh. Seafield gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Seafield is one of 175 places in Edinburgh we cover.
Here we cover the EH6, EH7 and EH15 postcode area for glazing silicone. If you need glazing silicone at a property on Blackie Road, Seafield Road and Restalrig Road or anywhere close by, we can help.

What’s near Seafield
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Public House, Portobello Library and Lochend Park, among other places. The nearest railway station is Edinburgh Waverley station, about 2.2 miles south-west. Nearby you will also find Eastern General Hospital (less than half a mile west) and Ocean Terminal (1.5 miles north-west). The countryside around Seafield includes Whinny Hill and The New Leaf Co-op.
Glazing silicone in Seafield, done properly
A frameless shower screen depends on its silicone. Leaks normally come from the wall joint or the tray joint, and we reseal both. If you’re dealing with water running down inside the glass and failed joints on frameless glass, we can help, on glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights alike.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. In Seafield, as anywhere, the mastic between frame and wall is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Use gentle products around the joints
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Don’t leave a drip for the next storm
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you’re done
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Seafield
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased the sealant may lift within a few years.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Drips on the inside of a conservatory window
If you look after a building such as Leith Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before you book

- When the joint can take water or movement

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a city area like Seafield, 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 trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Common questions in Seafield
Does the coastal weather in Seafield 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.
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. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
If the water is coming in through failed sealant joints, yes. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
