How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Glazing silicone in Ae
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. If you have leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and sealant that was laid over old silicone and failed, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Ae depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass balustrade bases
The base of a glass balustrade is generally sealed. When it fails, water can sit in the channel.
Glass-to-glass joints
Frameless glass corners and panels are joined with silicone. We renew it with a clear or matching glazing silicone.
Glazing silicone in Ae: local notes
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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In and around Ae, as anywhere, good glazing silicone starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Ae, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Do not leave a drip for the next storm
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
Follow the cure time we give you before the joints get wet so the silicone can set properly. From then on, a mild glass cleaner is all it needs.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
How we quote for glazing silicone
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the property is
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A sealed unit that has misted inside
- Cracked or broken glass
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Conservatory frames
- Rooflights
- Glass balustrade bases
- Shower screens
What else we do in Ae
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
