How we handle glazing silicone in Balnagask
Cracked, stained or lifting silicone on glass spoils the look and lets water in. We remove it without scratching the glass or frame and reseal the joint. We work on glass-to-glass joints, glass-to-frame joints and glass balustrade bases, and people most often call us about water running down inside the glass and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in sandstone or granite. Stone needs a sealant that suits it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for most jobs. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Balnagask, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Why act early in Balnagask
Replacing windows or a shower screen is not needed for a failed joint. Sound glass and frames normally just need resealing. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Balnagask, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Your questions about glazing silicone in Balnagask
I let a flat near Aberdeen station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Who arranges sealant work on the shared parts of a tenement in Balnagask?
It normally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets the rules for common parts if the deeds don’t, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We remove the old sealant and reseal the wall and tray joints.
What does glazing silicone cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Balnagask and across Aberdeen. We can quote a run of properties together.
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep scrapers and blades away from the silicone
- Clean glass with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Windows and doors in Balnagask
Balnagask is close to 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. Aberdeen’s nickname, the Granite City, comes from its stone buildings, and sealing against granite needs clean, sound edges and a sealant that suits stone.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Torry Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Aberdeen station? Then a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

When to call us in Balnagask
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water running down inside the glass
- A quick top-up bead that didn’t last
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
If you live in an older home near St Fittick's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
