Glazing silicone in Bieldside
Glass and frames expand and contract differently, so the sealant between them does a lot of work. When it cracks or lets go, water gets in. We cut it out and reseal with a glazing silicone suited to the joint. If you’re dealing with conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and glazing silicone that has cracked or come away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Bieldside is in one of Scotland’s four big cities, where many older buildings are sandstone or granite. Natural stone around older windows needs a sealant that will not mark or attack it, so acetoxy silicones, which can attack some stone, are best avoided.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Rotten or badly damaged frames
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A broken pane or roof panel
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surface by surface
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. They’re resealed with a suitable sealant.
Glass-to-frame joints
We cut the old silicone from the glass without scratching it before new glazing silicone goes in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Keep conservatory gutters clear of leaves
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
Gentle products are best near the sealant. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
A small conservatory leak soon spreads. Water runs along frames and down walls so it’s best dealt with right away.
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. For a tenement in Bieldside, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- The old sealant is removed from the glass and frame without scratching them.

Related advice
What glazing silicone looks like in Bieldside
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how owners share the upkeep of common parts like the roof and outside walls, often through a property factor. Windows usually belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say.
For landlords with property near Aberdeen station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as Cults Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Common questions in Bieldside
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Bieldside normally arranged?
It normally goes through the owners together, or through the factor if the building has one. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 covers the common parts where the deeds do not, and we can quote for the factor or the owners directly.
Do you cover Bieldside for glazing silicone?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Bieldside is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for most jobs. We will tell you when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
When to call us in Bieldside
Dirt and grease stop silicone sticking. Where the joint wasn’t cleaned and degreased, the bead can peel away early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Failed joints on frameless glass
Homes close to Cults West Parish Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
