Arbuthnott homes and the weather
Arbuthnott is close to 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. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
For an older house near a landmark such as Arbuthnott Parish Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Around Arbuthnott, as everywhere, glazing silicone is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Arbuthnott is about 12 miles north-east of Montrose, in Aberdeenshire. Arbuthnott gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee.

About our glazing silicone in Arbuthnott
We work across Arbuthnott on glazing joints for homes and businesses. Conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens are all part of the job, with a sealant chosen for the joint. If you have cracked silicone between glass panels and black or yellowed silicone on glass joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry joint, so outside work in Arbuthnott depends on the weather, and longer journeys are planned in advance. Tell us about access to all the windows and doors, upstairs included.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Arbuthnott
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- We clean the joint with a solvent that suits the glass and frame.
- We apply a neutral-cure glazing silicone and tool it smooth.
- The finished joints are checked and, where it’s safe, tested with water.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Surface by surface
Rooflights
Rooflight glazing joints are cut out and renewed. Leaks from the roof itself need a roofer.
Shower screens
Most shower screen leaks come from the wall or tray joint. We reseal both with anti-fungal silicone.
How we quote for glazing silicone
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before we start.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaks get worse, not better. Left, water can mark floors, damage plaster and rot timber so early action saves a bigger repair. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Glass that needs replacing
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Arbuthnott questions
Can you do glazing silicone in Arbuthnott?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Arbuthnott is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Arbuthnott?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
A neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Can you fix a leaking conservatory?
Yes, when the leak is a failed sealant joint. If it’s a broken panel, failed unit or roof problem, we will tell you.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
