Common questions in Birsemore
Do you cover Birsemore for glazing silicone?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Birsemore is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Birsemore within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How we handle glazing silicone in Birsemore
We don’t replace glass, and misting between panes means a failed sealed unit. Our work is the sealant joints and that’s often where the water gets in. We’re often asked to deal with water tracking down the inner face of the glass and rooflight joints letting water in, on glass-to-frame joints, conservatory frames and glass balustrade bases.
Many older Scottish homes still have timber windows set into stone walls. Those suit a traditional sand mastic or a neutral-cure sealant, not an acetoxy silicone that can attack some stone.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What else we do in Birsemore
Windows and doors in Birsemore
Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and failed outside joints work against that.
Homes close to St Machar's Parish Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Birsemore is about 11 miles west of Banchory, in Aberdeenshire. Whether you are in the middle of Birsemore or further out, glazing silicone is available for homes and businesses alike. We cover 161 towns and villages across Aberdeenshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We also work in Aberdeen, around 26 miles away.

What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing

- A sagging or failing conservatory roof
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Conservatory frames
- Glass balustrade bases
- Glass-to-frame joints
- Shower screens
- Glass-to-glass joints
- Rooflights
What affects the cost of glazing silicone
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. It can damage the floor or the ceiling below before you spot it.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a place like Birsemore, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start by finding the leak and making sure sealant is the cause.
- We cut out the failed silicone, taking care of the glass and frame.
- The glass and frame are cleaned and degreased.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is tooled to a neat finish.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Advice
Signs you need glazing silicone in Birsemore
Sealant laid over old sealant doesn’t last. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead leaving a path for water.
Look out for any of the following:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Water escaping where a screen meets the wall
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
If you look after a building such as Aboyne Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What preparation is included
Leave it or put it right?
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. 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.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass before new glazing silicone goes in.
Conservatory frames
The joints where the conservatory meets the house take a lot of movement. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the frame.
