Signs you need glazing silicone in Craigiebuckler
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking on the glass.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
Historic houses such as Friendville, about 1 mile east, show how far back building around Craigiebuckler goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

How the job changes by surface
Glass-to-glass joints
Where two panes meet, the silicone joint takes all the movement. The bead needs to be tidy and fully bonded.
Glass-to-frame joints
Glass-to-frame joints need a sealant that bonds to both. We choose a product that suits both.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Check the silicone on glass every year or so
- Open vents or windows to let moisture out
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Keep conservatory gutters clear so water does not back up against the seals. Overflowing gutters can cause leaks of their own.
Shower screen leaks can go unnoticed. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below before you spot it.
Why act early in Craigiebuckler
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant will not help. We’ll tell you that rather than seal it anyway, so you can call the right trade. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Craigiebuckler, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Craigiebuckler homes and the weather
Under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004, shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are looked after by the owners together, often through a property factor. Windows usually belong to the flat, but the title deeds have the final say. Aberdeen’s nickname, the Granite City, comes from its stone buildings, and sealing against granite needs clean, sound edges and a sealant that suits stone.
If you let a flat or house near Aberdeen station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Schools such as Airyhall Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Questions from Craigiebuckler
How is work on the outside of a tenement in Craigiebuckler generally arranged?
Shared parts of a tenement, such as the roof and outside walls, are normally 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. Windows often belong to the individual flat, but it’s worth checking your deeds.
Can you do glazing silicone in Craigiebuckler?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Craigiebuckler 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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What does glazing silicone cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you replace a misted double-glazed unit?
No. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
