Catterline homes and the weather
Catterline is within about 1 mile of 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. Many older homes in Scotland have sash and case windows, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Stonehaven station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Catterline Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Glazing silicone in Catterline, done properly
Sealant on glazing doesn’t last for ever. Weather and movement take their toll and cracked joints let water in. Renewing it keeps glazing joints doing their job. We are often asked to deal with water running down inside the glass and conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints, across glass-to-glass joints, glass balustrade bases and conservatory frames.
Older stone-built homes in Scotland often have sash and case or timber windows set in stone. The sealant has to suit the stone, which rules out acetoxy silicones that can mark or attack it.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Catterline: your questions answered
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Catterline?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you work for landlords with property near Stonehaven station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Do you seal glass balustrade bases?
We can. The old sealant is removed and the joint resealed using a sealant that suits the materials.
Do you replace glass?
Glass replacement is not our trade. We reseal the joints around it and can tell you if a unit seems to have gone.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Use a gentle glass cleaner and a soft cloth
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Ventilate the conservatory to cut condensation
On shower screens, wipe or squeegee after use and keep the room ventilated. It helps stop mould getting into the silicone.
Do not leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the problem grows.
Landlord and commercial work in Catterline
Letting agents and landlords in Catterline can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together.
Why act early in Catterline
Glazing joints need a sealant made for the job. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
