How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for most jobs. For a tenement in Cornhill, 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 trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- We check the finished joints and test with water where it’s safe.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Glazing silicone in Cornhill
We do not replace glass and a misted double-glazed unit needs a glazier. Our work is the sealant joints, which is where many leaks start. If you have conservatory leaks at frame and glazing joints and water escaping where a screen meets the wall, we can put it right.
Older stone-built tenements in Scotland’s cities were built with sash and case windows, and plenty still have them. Whether you’re in a tenement flat or a house in Cornhill, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Look over the glazing joints once a year
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Keep conservatory gutters clear, so water drains away from the joints. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Don’t leave lifting or mouldy silicone on glazing. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Glazing silicone in Cornhill: local notes
Cornhill is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on glazing joints and frame seals, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near St Ninian's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Letting a property close to Aberdeen station? Then leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.

Questions from Cornhill
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in Cornhill?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We trace the leak first before any sealing.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It doesn’t last. Fresh silicone will not bond to cured silicone, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.

We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the old sealant might stop a drip for a while, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. In a tenement flat in Cornhill, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When to call us in Cornhill
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they do not move by the same amount. In time, the sealant splits or pulls away.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- New silicone smeared over old sealant
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Northfield Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
