Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone does not stick to silicone, and the leak usually returns. A proper reseal is the lasting answer. For landlords in Broomhill, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

How we handle glazing silicone in Broomhill
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant at the glass-to-frame or frame-to-wall joints. We trace the leak to the joint and reseal it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. We work on glass balustrade bases, glass-to-glass joints and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about water running down inside the glass and failed joints on frameless glass.
In a Scottish city, many flats have windows two, three or four floors up, so the mastic outside can go unchecked for years. For a flat in Broomhill, access is the first thing to plan, and in a tenement the outside of the building may be a shared repair.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. In a city area like Broomhill, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- We lay the new bead and tool it smooth.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
FAQs for Broomhill
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aberdeen station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Broomhill?
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.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
That is not something we do. A misted unit has failed inside, and a glazier needs to replace it.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What we are called out for in Broomhill
Using a sealant not made for glass causes many failures. Not every silicone sticks properly to glass and vinegar-smelling acetoxy silicone can attack some metals.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Split or lifting silicone on glass
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
For an older house near a landmark such as Ruthrieston West Church And Hall, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Rooflights
Rooflight leaks can come from the sealant or the roof. We find the cause first.
Glass balustrade bases
Balustrade bases are exposed outdoors. A sound sealant joint keeps them tidy and dry.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
What glazing silicone looks like in Broomhill
Broomhill is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Friendville (about 0.4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Broomhill has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
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. Schools such as Albyn School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
