Glazing silicone in Bucksburn
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone, which suits glass and most frame materials, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. Typical jobs include leaks where conservatory glass meets the frame and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray, across glass-to-frame joints, glass balustrade bases and rooflights.
Scotland’s cities are full of stone-built tenements and terraces, in 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Get a new leak looked at quickly
- Don’t use a blade near the sealant
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
Squeegee a shower screen after each shower and let the room air. That slows mould growth on the bead.
Cracked glazing silicone means the joint has failed. Renewing it early keeps it simple, compared with repairing damaged frames or plaster.

Conservatory frames
Leaks often start where the frame meets the wall. We remove the failed sealant and renew it.
Rooflights
A rooflight faces rain and sun from above. Its sealant ages faster than vertical joints.

Bucksburn homes and the weather
Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland have to keep homes wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that.
For landlords with property near Dyce station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. Schools such as Bucksburn Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Questions from Bucksburn
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Bucksburn generally arranged?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are generally repaired with the agreement of the owners, often through a property factor. The Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 sets out how that works where the title deeds don’t. Your title deeds will say who owns the windows.
I let a flat near Dyce station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you reseal glass shower screens?
Yes. We cut out the old silicone and reseal the glass-to-wall and glass-to-tray joints.
What sealant do you use on glazing?
Glass needs a sealant made for glazing. We use neutral-cure glazing silicone with anti-fungal products in bathrooms.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Leave it or put it right?
Fixing a leaking screen early protects what’s underneath. A small leak can reach the floor below before you notice. Private landlords in Bucksburn must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

When to call us in Bucksburn
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.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Water running down inside the glass
In the older streets around Church Of Scotland, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
